DEF

[A facilitation effect] caused by ... different kinds of interrelations, including both associative relations and true relations of meaning.

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie cognitive
CONT

L'amorçage associatif a lieu entre deux mots qui peuvent n'avoir aucune signification en commun, comme par exemple «attente» et «docteur» [...] Bien que n'ayant aucun lien sémantique entre eux, ils sont associés. En effet, les sujets donnent fréquemment le mot «attente» lorsqu'ils doivent donner le plus rapidement possible un mot auquel le mot «docteur» les fait penser.
