Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. Connecting a word to other words, to your experience, or to events in the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word association experiment or test is a projective test characterized by the presentation of a list of terms that, as carefully selected stimuli or incentives, required the patient to spontaneously express their immediate linguistic associations.

Carl Gustav Jung argued that when the patient is presented with the word stimulus that is associated with a strong affective charge, a reaction is awakened in him that is detectable, for example, lengthening of reaction time, forgetting the word stimulus, blocking in the response, response of more than one word, repetition of the stimulus word, response in another language, etc., therefore, it could be said that the technique will be used at the time of the search to bring the unconscious to the conscious.
