Multidimensional Scaling - From a non-technical point of view, the purpose of multidimensional scaling (MDS) is to provide a visual representation of the pattern of proximities (i.e., similarities or distances) among a set of objects. 3/5
Multidimensional Scaling - Katrijn Van Deun, Luc Delbek University of Leuven, Belgium -A short elementary overview is presented on the use of multidimensional scaling as a method of data analysis, and as a tool for perceptual and cognitive modelling in psychology. 3/5

Then judgement is used to select the subjects or units from each segment based on a specified proportion. It is this second step which makes the technique one of non-probability sampling 3/5

Most of these links are to resources that can be read over the web. A few, like the GAO books, are for books that can be sent away for, for free (if you live in the US), as well as read over the web. 3/5
Serial Position Curve - Is used to plot the results of a free recall experiment. 2/5 Student
Serial Position Effect - The U-shaped serial position curve, with its primacy and recency effects, has been demonstrated repeatedly. The Modal Model explains these effects by asserting that primacy items are well rehearsed and thus are recalled from LTM. Primacy items are not well rehearsed, but they are nonetheless recalled well because they still reside in STM at the time of the test. 3/5
