Consensus vocabulary methods have a panel jointly build shared sensory descriptors

Evidence

Techniques based on verbal elicitation are extensively utilized in the field of sensory science, and they form the largest group of descriptive analysis methods. Two distinct categories of techniques exist for establishing the sensory descriptors, consensus vocabulary (CV) methods and individual vocabulary methods. CV methods use a panel of assessors to develop a common set of descriptors, or dimensions, characterizing the sensory properties of the stimuli being investigated. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 937
