However verbal cues can also prime images through associative relationships, while images can prime verbal items through associative connections as well.

The distinction between syntagmatic and associative relationships relates to this concept of the synchronic study of language as a system.

Statistics derived from quantitative research can be used to establish the existence of associative or causal relationships between variables.

The associative relationship that binds the clownfish and the sea anemone is called mutualism.

In addition to the hierarchical relationships, the ULAN also has equivalent and associative relationships.

A geometry constraint engine may also be employed to manage the associative relationships between geometry, such as wireframe geometry in a sketch or components in an assembly.

Unexpected capabilities of these associative relationships have led to a new form of prototyping called digital prototyping.

These records describe both the associative and spatial relationships between all the component parts.
