Termeni somatici şi structurile asociative specifice mentalului românesc (în baza experimentului asociativ) [Articol]

Abstract

The term association is used in psycholinguistics to refer to the connection or relationship between ideas, concepts or words that exist in human consciousness: the emergence of an entity in human consciousness triggers the appearance of another. Hence, associative theory deals with revealing relationships that words from the mental network establish with other words, images and thoughts, interpreting the system of associating words like a cobweb. One of the simplest techniques for disclosing the mechanism of association is the free association test, which consists of presenting (in writing or orally) a list of words-stimuli to subjects who are asked to answer with the first word that comes to their mind - wordsanswers. In this way, the free association test offers the most profound information about how knowledge is structured in human consciousness.
