By comparison, the method of levels, where the subject's response does not influence the stimulus duration, produced identical thresholds whatever the rate of temperature variations.

In keeping with this statement, the pain threshold measured with the method of limits, but not the method of levels, demonstrates a gradual increase from the lowest level in the trunk to peak levels in the foot [20].
On the other hand, the forced choice method of levels applied in similar conditions provided remarkably reproducible detectable changes of temperature in the 0.6 0.7°C range [19], [38], [40], [45].
The aforementioned method of levels therapy focuses exclusively on addressing conflict.
This is based on the finding of unchanged cold and warm temperature thresholds at the palmar thenar of the hand using the method of Levels.
Thermal perception thresholds were determined using two methods for testing of small nerve fibre functioning: the reaction-time inclusive method of limits (MLI) and the reaction time exclusive method of levels (MLE) as described by Claus et al. (1987).
Thermal perception thresholds were determined in 11 healthy overweight adult males using two methods for small nerve fibre functioning: a reaction-time inclusive method of limits (MLI) and a reaction time exclusive method of levels (MLE).
More recently, it has led to the development of method of levels, a transdiagnostic cognitive therapy which focuses specifically on conflict formulation (e.g., Carey, 2008; Mansell, Carey, & Tai, 2012).
They are a method of levelling the playing field and taking into consideration structural inequalities.
