COGNITIVE STRATEGIES AND MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING

Christopher O Fraser

Abstract

The problems involved in equating multidimensional scaling solutions with cognitive strategies are considered. Empirical evidence is presented to suggest that scaling solutions are relatively insensitive to the combination rule used by subjects, and thus may be used as an indication of the basic variables, but not their method of combination, that underlie a cognitive strategy.
