Dear Cath, This is an interesting query. I'm afraid I can't point to anything tailor-made for this task. However, I suspect, as with all qualitative research, that the best approach would be to compile some cards from first principles (or even to use pre-existing materials as stimulus) that are 'fit for purpose' - i.e. that directly address those issues he's most interested in exploring. I do hope that he is able to generate the sort of data he's looking for. Best wishes, Rose. Prof. Rosaline S.

He is looking for a way to use something like a card sort task so that he can give participants information and then record the ways in which they categorise this information and the concepts they use to do so. I have some old literature on repertory grids and verbal protocols, which I have lent to him, but wondered if anyone had some more recent references for similar techniques that I can point him to. If they have been used in cognitive/experimental psychology contexts that would be even more useful. Thanks, Cath The University of Dundee is a registered Scottish charity, No: SC015096
