title: PATTERN PERCEPTION, CONCEPTUAL SPACES, AND DIMENSIONAL LIMITATIONS ON INFORMATION PROCESSING.
abstract: A conceptual space was defined as the collection of all linearly inde- pendent psychological dimensions underlying the multidimensional scaling of a set of tasks. When a single subject scaled a sample of random polygons under fifteen different task conditions, a total of ten linearly independent dimensions was obtained. The number of obtained dimensions in individual tasks ranged between 1 and 3. The results suggest the existence o f a dimensional limitation upon information processing in MDS studies.
