Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C. G. Jung measured patients' reaction time in word association tasks in order to study how quickly they processed certain concepts and ideas. This was part of his broader interest in exploring the unconscious mind and understanding how it influences behavior and thought. While recall accuracy, mental imagery, and insight may also be important components of psychoanalysis, they were not the specific focus of Jung's word association experiments.
