These disorders have to some extent been\u003cbr\u003emade the subject of psychological experimentation, and the object of\u003cbr\u003ethis investigation is to continue and extend the study of these\u003cbr\u003ephenomena by an application of the experimental method known as the\u003cbr\u003eassociation test.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e§ 1. METHOD OF INVESTIGATION.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this investigation we have followed a modified form of the method\u003cbr\u003edeveloped by Sommer,[1] the essential feature of which is the\u003cbr\u003estatistical treatment of results obtained by uniform technique from a\u003cbr\u003elarge number of cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Footnote 1: Diagnostik der Geisteskrankheiten, p. 112.]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stimulus consists of a series of one hundred spoken words, to each\u003cbr\u003eof which the subject is directed to react by the first word which it\u003cbr\u003emakes him think of. In the selection of the stimulus words, sixty-six\u003cbr\u003eof which were taken from the list suggested by Sommer, we have taken\u003cbr\u003ecare to avoid such words as are especially liable to call up personal\u003cbr\u003eexperiences, and have so arranged the words as to separate any two\u003cbr\u003ewhich bear an obviously close relation to one another. After much\u003cbr\u003epreliminary experimentation we adopted the following list of words:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01 Table\u003cbr\u003e02 Dark\u003cbr\u003e03 Music\u003cbr\u003e04 Sickness\u003cbr\u003e05 Man\u003cbr\u003e06 Deep\u003cbr\u003e07 Soft\u003cbr\u003e08 Eating\u003cbr\u003e09 Mountain\u003cbr\u003e10 House\u003cbr\u003e11 Black\u003cbr\u003e12 Mutton\u003cbr\u003e13 Comfort\u003cbr\u003e14 Hand\u003cbr\u003e15 Short\u003cbr\u003e16 Fruit\u003cbr\u003e17 Butterfly\u003cbr\u003e18 Smooth\u003cbr\u003e19 Command\u003cbr\u003e20 Chair\u003cbr\u003e21 Sweet\u003cbr\u003e22 Whistle\u003cbr\u003e23 Woman\u003cbr\u003e24 Cold\u003cbr\u003e25 Slow\u003cbr\u003e26 Wish\u003cbr\u003e27 River\u003cbr\u003e28 White\u003cbr\u003e29 Beautiful\u003cbr\u003e30 Window\u003cbr\u003e31 Rough\u003cbr\u003e32 Citizen\u003cbr\u003e33 Foot\u003cbr\u003e34 Spider\u003cbr\u003e35 Needle\u003cbr\u003e36 Red\u003cbr\u003e37 Sleep\u003cbr\u003e38 Anger\u003cbr\u003e39 Carpet\u003cbr\u003e40 Girl\u003cbr\u003e41 High\u003cbr\u003e42 Working\u003cbr\u003e43 Sour\u003cbr\u003e44 Earth\u003cbr\u003e45 Trouble\u003cbr\u003e46 Soldier\u003cbr\u003e47 Cabbage\u003cbr\u003e48 Hard\u003cbr\u003e49 Eagle\u003cbr\u003e50 Stomach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo attempt is made to secure uniformity of external conditions for the\u003cbr\u003etest; the aim has been rather to make it so simple as to render\u003cbr\u003estrictly experimental conditions unnecessary. The test may be made in\u003cbr\u003eany room that is reasonably free from distracting influences; the\u003cbr\u003esubject is seated with his back toward the experimenter, so that he\u003cbr\u003ecannot see the record; he is requested to respond to each stimulus\u003cbr\u003eword by one word, the first word that occurs to him other than the\u003cbr\u003estimulus word itself, and on no account more than one word. If an\u003cbr\u003euntrained subject reacts by a sentence or phrase, a compound word, or\u003cbr\u003ea different grammatical form of the stimulus word, the reaction is\u003cbr\u003eleft unrecorded, and the stimulus word is repeated at the close of the\u003cbr\u003etest.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146346479856,"sku":"2940015634815","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015634815","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
