between the subjects' judgements of the applicability of the various criteria to their recall exemplars. The analysis identifies criteria that are near to each other and successively links ‘them into clusters. Initially, each criterion is considered a cluster of one, then successive cluster linkages are made, and finally all criteria are joined into a single cluster. A hierarchy is imposed in that four linkages will be made on the first pass, three linkages on the second pass, two linkages on the third, and one on the fourth. The numbers on the dendrograms represent the greatest differences between criteria in the two clusters being linked. For example, consider Figure 1. On the first pass, the analysis identifies individual criteria (i.e. one-item clusters) that were valued similarly by the subjects. ‘Familiarity' linked with 'Knowledge', 'Possession' with 'Assertion', and so on. When 'Familiarity' and 'Knowledge' were linked to form a two-item cluster, the mean absolute difference between judgements of applicability was .30. This is expressed numerically on the dendrogram, as well as graphically. The longer the horizontal line linking two clusters, the more distant the clusters were when linked. on the second pass, when 'Aesthetics' linked with the 'Familiarity-Knowledge' cluster, ‘Aesthetics’ was .35 judgement units from 'Familiarity'. The cluster linking
