Abstract

Multidimensional scalings of odor similarities in two conditions were examined, with 7 odors, 15 subjects, and scaling in Euclidean space with individual differences taken out as a third mode, by INDSCAL. It was shown that the presence of additional odor word profiles as dummy stimuli modified the relations between odors, thus attenuating the generality of verbally-based odor scaling methods.
