Description

Some aspects of the methatheory of measurement -- The problem of psychological measurement -- Definitions and postulates -- Genotypic parameters -- Phenotypic parameters -- The area of joint scales -- The unfolding technique -- Some implications for the law of comparative judgment."This monograph describes the construction of a psychological theory which defines the information contained in the responses of individuals to stimuli. This has been accomplished by abstracting certain properties of behavior which are invariant over content.

On the basis presented here certain theoretical concepts and interpretations are developed and also certain new experimental procedures and experimental relations presented"--Preface.
