本文论述了分析的某些客观特征的序列的口头联想反应发生的情况下,指令定义的相关性的反应,并在那里有一个限制的数量相关的反应,可以给出。当被试被要求尽可能多地说出美国的城市,或者被要求列出令人愉快的活动时,他们给出的反应就是这种联想思维的简单例证。起初,这些反应相对容易和迅速地发生;一段时间后,它们慢慢地发生,受试者在召唤它们时表现出努力的迹象。这里报告的数据是一致的假设,即在这种情况下,发生率的联想反应直接与数量之间的差异。给定响应的BER和可用响应的总数,即剩余可用响应的数量。该函数关系从以下修改的指数方程导出:
This paper deals with an analysis of certain objective characteristics of sequences of verbal associative responses occurring in situations where the instructions define the relevance of the responses, and where there is a limit to the number of relevant responses that can be given. Simple illustrations of this type of associative thinking are found in the responses which a subject gives when asked to name as many cities in the US as he can, or when instructed to list pleasant activities. At first the responses occur with relative ease and rapidity; after a time they occur slowly and the subject gives evidence of effort in summoning them. The data reported here are consistent with the hypothesis that the rate of occurrence of associative responses in this type of situation varies directly with the difference between the num-. ber of responses given and the total number of available responses, ie, with the number of remaining available responses. This functional relationship is derived from the following modified exponential equation:
