My understanding from when I first had my Nikkormat in 1973 is that the metering was either Spot or Average until Matrix Metering was introduced in 1983 in the Nikon FA.
Matrix metering is meant to read the whole screen but bias towards the centre or notional target.
Spot metering measures off the spot whose size is defined in the Menu where Spot Metering is controlled.
Average Metering does just that and provides no centre bias like in Matrix Metering.
