The <principal component scores> are the projections of centered observations onto the loading directions:
$$
\boxed{Z=X_cV,\qquad Z_{ij}=\sum_{k=1}^p(X_{ik}-\overline X_k)V_{kj}.}
$$
If the symbol $X$ already denotes centered data, this simplifies to $Z=XV$. The <principal component loadings> are directions; the <principal component scores> are coordinates of individual observations in those directions.
