Word Type Association Patterns of Non-Native Speakers of English

Dear students, My name is Šarūnas Zavadskas and I am conducting a study to find out about how the associations in the mind of a language learner change according to the level of his or her knowledge. It is a well-known fact that the more proficient we become with a language the more different the words that we use get. Below is a list of words that I chose for the survey. Please read the list first and then add the word that first comes to your mind on each line. Overall you need to add 20 words. The test will approximately take 5 minutes.
