The free association method is used to identify other words to which a word is semantically related. Free association, which has been used for various purposes in the field of psychology for many years, plays an important role in scientific research on the mind by helping to model the associational structure of words. In this review, the free association method, related theories and the research areas in which it is applied are discussed with a focus on relatively new ones. Starting from its historical development, experimental methods, free association norms and the reliability and validity of these norms, organization of semantic memory and explanation of semantic networks from the Graph Theory perspective are mentioned. In addition, various studies in international and national literature using free association and its application areas in psychology are also discussed. Free association is used in the fields of cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, and neuroscience as well as in group and cultural comparison studies. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of free association method together with our suggestions about future studies are discussed. This review is thought to be an important resource for scholars who study semantic memory and word associations.

Serbest çağrışım yöntemi bir kelimenin anlamca yakın ilişkili olduğu diğer kelimeleri belirlemekte kullanılır. Özellikle psikoloji alanında yıllardır çeşitli amaçlar için kullanılan serbest çağrışım, kelimeleri ve kelimelerin birbirleriyle olan anlam bağlantılarını içeren ilişkisel yapıyı modellemeye yardımcı olarak zihin üzerine bilimsel araştırmalarda önemli bir rol oynar. Bu derlemede, serbest çağrışım yöntemi, ilişkili teoriler ve kullanıldığı araştırma alanları görece daha yeni olanlara odaklanarak ele alınmıştır. Tarihsel gelişiminden başlayarak deneysel yöntemler, çağrışım normları ve normların güvenirlik ve geçerliği ile birlikte anlamsal belleğin organizasyonu ve anlamsal ağların Grafik Teorisi perspektifinden açıklanması gibi konulardan bahsedilmiştir. Bununla beraber serbest çağrışımın kullanıldığı uluslararası ve ulusal alanyazındaki çeşitli çalışmalar ve psikolojideki uygulama alanları da ele alınmıştır. Serbest çağrışım bilişsel psikoloji, klinik psikoloji ve nörobilim alanlarında kullanılmakla beraber gruplar ve kültürlerarası karşılaştırmalarda da kullanılmaktadır. Son olarak, serbest çağrışımın güçlü ve zayıf yanları ve gelecek çalışmalar hakkında önerilerimiz tartışılmıştır. Bu derlemenin anlamsal bellek ve kelime çağrışımları ile ilgili araştırma yapan bilim insanlarına önemli bir kaynak olacağı düşünülmektedir.
