The Effect of Task on Intra-Individual Differences in Similarities Judgments.

In a recent MBR article (1969), Fenker and Brown discuss the relationship between task spaces and conceptual space in the multidimensional scaling of similarities judgments. This article extends some of their research to the case of multiple judges and real stimuli: a set of 20 bakery-type food items. In addition, we examine the relationship between overall similarities judgments and task-specified similarities judgments.
