Electric Shock Therapy And The Word Association Test, Lowell Franklin Jennings

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The Word Association Test has been less frequently used in recent years with the advent and popularization of many new projective techniques. From a clinical viewpoint the method is limited in that it gives insufficient material for a description of the personality as a meaningful whole, individual administration is time consuming, and the tendency is to indicate the presence of an emotional disturbance without denoting the exact nature of that disturbance. A look at the Word Association Tests's long and respectable history will find that this test has been used clinically and experimentally by many prominent men. A survey of …

Some clinicians have felt that this visual reversal tendency might be a definite deterrent in terms of reading difficulty.

Since records were available, it was decided that a statistical study could be undertaken in order to test this hypothesis.
