    In line with my massive skepticism of this work, I will try to learn more about the word similarity and word association literature in psychology. I think this will help clarify what the heck people were actually doing when doing the Chang et al task.

    I will read this introduction for a dataset of "word association norms" that builds off of classic works in the 1960's. I'm too lazy to go to the library for the classic work, so I'll read this instead. If I get time I'll get the older book.

    Nelson, D. L., McEvoy, C. L., & Schreiber, T. A. (1998). The University of South Florida word association, rhyme, and word fragment norms.
