 Free association (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Free association (Psychodynamic theory) is a technique used in psychology, devised by Sigmund Freud.
Using the technique of free association, Freud asked patients to relate anything which came into their mind, regardless of how apparently unimportant or potentially embarrassing the memory threatened to be.

However, Gestalt psychologists, who believe that association between items is dependent on their relations to each other, interpret association as an aftereffect of perceptual organization.

 The Rise of Experimental Psychology
According to the received view (Boring, 1950), scientific psychology began in Germany as a physiological psychology born of a marriage between the philosophy of mind, on the one hand, and the experimental phenomenology that arose within sensory physiology on the other.
Philosophical psychology, concerned with the epistemological problem of the nature of knowing mind in relationship to the world as known, contributed fundamental questions and explanatory constructs; sensory physiology and to a certain extent physics contributed experimental methods and a growing body of phenomenological facts.

The implication was that psychology is not a branch of epistemology, but of general biology, and he devoted himself to making comparisons among the striking talents of men, the different habits and abilities of different species, and the compilation of a truly natural classification of functions.
Gay employed the association of ideas and the pleasure-pain principle to account for the origin of the moral sense and all the passions, in lieu of considering them to be innately given instincts.
