This chapter discusses free-association responses to words from the original Kent–Rosanoff word association test obtained from students residing in England and in Australia. It describes the subject populations represented in the present norms and highlights critical aspects of the procedure. The English sample consisted of 200 men and 200 women who were drawn from seven universities located throughout England. Approximately 60{\%} were enrolled in first-year courses in one of the social sciences, while the remainder were studying arts, science, or education. The median age of the subjects was 18 years, 5 months. The Australian samples were drawn from the universities of Sydney and Tasmania. The test was administered individually, using the conventional Kent–Rosanoff procedure. Response latencies were recorded. For the Australian sample, certain other responses were combined: verbs and participles, nouns and adverbs, and variances of nouns, for example, sit and sitting, peace and peaceful, and worm and earthworm.
