Table 2 VISUAL FUNCTIONAL CENTRALITY RATING SCALE FOR TARGET SUB-ELEMENT Present, but a trivial or hardly noticeable feature Minor feature, could be overlooked, not central Prominant, but not central Strong, central, visual feature, can not be missed Immediately strikes the eye as central.

The results of the blind judging for the actual experiment are shown in the last column in Table 3. The Greek letter mu (y) in Table 3 is calculated from the overall concept oer oe scores for each category from ro et Eo KO cot e ae ee Bh = L concept scores/N © where N is the total number of concepts for the specific category. The SCORING *: rd pu, then, represents the average score out of afmaximum possible 25 for: ~ each cateogry. The %PT was calculated from Eq. (1), and F is the F ratio derived from a one-way analysis of variance. For each target, a one-way analysis of variance was computed under the null hypothesis assumption that the scores for A/L category do not differ from one another. The %PT and the F-ratio represent the results for the target-independent and target-dependent A/L analysis respectively: a correlation with blind judging exists for both analyses.

Therefore, it is premature to conclude with certainty to what degree the particular A/L analysis technique used with this subject can be generalized, It is possible, however, to conclude that the A/L technique is basically productive in its approach. In particular the observed correlation of the target- youre ans independent analysis with previous blind judging results is highly gnarematt encouraging, As the A/L analysis technique evolves further, a single set of A/L criteria is not expected to be applicable across subjects; rather, for the operational setting, in all likelihood a subject-specific set of criteria must be developed. In summary, it should be emphasized that, (1) at a minimum, some \sr TIME improvement in the RV product can be immediately realized by rejecting all ~ VOHAT analytical (AN) statements; (2) beyond that, a full audio-linguistic iS RAS 4 (A/L) analysis of utterances appears to further differentiate correct from incorrect statements generated in RV sessions. 13 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001300310001-4
