Abstract: Abstract Verbal Decision Analysis is a new methodological approach for the construction of decisions methods with multiple criteria. The approach is based on cognitive psychology, applied mathematics, and computer science. Problems of eliciting exact quantitative estimations from the decision makers may be overcome by using preferential information from the decision makers in the ordinal form (e.g., “more preferable”, “less preferable”,⋯). This type of judgments is known to be much more stable and consistent. Ways of how to obtain and use ordinal judgments for multicriteria alternatives’ evaluation are discussed. Decision methods ZAPROS, and ORCLASS based on the approach are briefly described.
