These me thods typically generate maps that represent observations and variables as points or vectors in small dimensional spaces: a format that standard met a-analytic procedure cannot easily handle. Here\, in order to meta-analyze a set of multivariate studies using the same variables (and/or same obser vations) we propose to use a multi-table 3-way extension of metric multidi mensional scaling (called diSTATIS or covSTATIS) that can integrate the fa ctorial information produced by a set of studies. covSTATIS produces two s et of maps: The first set reveals the similarity between the studies and t he second set optimally analyzes the common and specific information of th e variables in the studies. This approach is illustrated with a meta-analy sis of a set of studies using the Survey of Autobiographical Memory (SAM)— a questionnaire that assesses self-reported remote mnemonic capacities com prising twenty-six variables organized in four subscales.\n DTSTART:20220503T160000Z DTEND:20220503T170000Z SUMMARY:QLS Seminar - Herve Abdi URL:/qls/channels/event/qls-seminar-herve-abdi-339134 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
