Basic Method
To perform a card sort:
- A person representative of the audience is given a set of index cards with terms already written on them.
- This person puts the terms into logical groupings, and finds a category name for each grouping.
- This process is repeated across a population of test subjects.
- The results are later analyzed to reveal patterns.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or method:
“Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, & ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
