Prose Representation: A Multidimensional Scaling Approach.

LaPorte, Ronald E.; Voss, James F.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v14 n1 p39-56 Jan 1979

Multidimensional scaling was used to study the comprehension of prose. Undergraduates rated the similarity of twenty nouns before and after reading passages containing those nouns. Results indicated that the scaling analysis provided an effective valid indicator of prose representation. (Author/JKS)
