This measure is completed on a computer by working with 150 stimulus words.

Subjects are given a card with stimulus word (theme) in their native language.

Each card lists one theme on multiple lines and includes space for writing down subjects' free associations to the stimulus word.

- In one study, the subject was provided with a stimulus word, the first letter of the response, and a word relating the two.

For example, with the rule of opposite, the stimulus word "hot", and the letter "c", the word cold would be generated.

Each subject was given a semantic free association test (where stimulus words were given to elicit the learned words).

A content analysis of the responses to the stimulus word "justice," revealed that the meaning of justice was substantially changed in the experiment.

Therefore, we may remember the presented stimulus word more clearly, and thereby be more accurate in identifying its component letters, as observed in the WSE.

AGA defines the stimulus word as the unit of analysis (rather than individuals, groups, or society, etc.) and as the key unit in the perceptual representational system.

Joanna is a collage artist, and the novel of her life appropriately resembles a collage, arranged in 100 chapters based on stimulus words from a classic word-association test.

VESPAR does not use timing to help evaluate performance, instead it uses high frequency stimulus words or visually distinct spatial stimuli to help determine its results.

Training with a list of stimulus words was regarded as an instance of discrimination learning in which each S comes to evoke an R different from those evoked by other stimuli.

In the sentence completion tests, tendencies to block and to twist the meaning of the stimulus words appear and the responses may be categorized in a somewhat similar fashion to the word association method.

This result was interpreted in terms of meaningfulness' by Matsumiya, Tagliasco, Lombroso and Goodglass (1972) who showed in a separate study that inter-hemispheric asymmetry was greatest when subjects had to understand each stimulus word, and minimal when they could ignore the semantic content.
