Objective Approximations of Idiodynamic Associative Sets

Abstract

The differential availability of Perceptual-referent (predication), Object-referent (functional), Concept-referent (synonym or superordinate), and Dimension-referent (contrast or coordinate) associates was determined for a pool of familiar words. From this pool, 28 stimulus words were drawn to construct a multiple-choice form, with one of the four alternate associates appropriate to each of the four sets. One of the four alternates was a “popular” (maximally compatible with one set), with 7 populars representing each set. This multiple-choice form successfully identified Ss with idiodynamic free-association sets. As in free word association, Ss were able to increase their commonality score when instructed to identify the popular associates among the four alternatives.
