title: ODOUR SIMILARITIES AND THEIR MULTIDIMENSIONAL METRIC REPRESENTATION.
abstract: Odour qualitative similarities were collected on 18 Ss, using 10 diverse stimuli. Responses were in numerical category scale form, and were analyzed individually and pooled, by a nonmetric multidimensional scaling program TORSCA. It is suggested that the data are consistent with a degenerate metric space configuration here called a reflected simplex. Implications for psycho-physical odour quality typologies are noted.
