Antes, J. R. & Stone, L. A. (1975). Multidimensional scaling of pictorial informativeness. Perceptual and Motor Skills, 40, 887-893.

The dimensions used in the judgment of the informativeness of picture sections were investigated by means of a recently proposed methodology, multidimensional similarity analysis. 10 judges (college students) rated the informational similarity of 32 areas within a single picture. The five extracted dimensions accounted for 86 % of the judgmental variance and were all readily interpretable. These dimensions were discussed with respect to an earlier study in which eye movements of subjects viewing this picture were recorded.
