Memory Tip
associative 由 associate（联想/联系）+ ive 构成：把人和事连在一起、引起联想，就是“联想的”。可记：朋友相聚，往事浮现。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：心理学、认知科学、记忆研究 associative 作“联想的、引起联想的”解时，多出现在心理学、认知科学等正式书面语境；日常口语中较少单独使用，更常见于学术描述。
Pronunciation & Spelling
associative 读作 /əˈsəuʃjətiv/，重音在第二个音节。真正押韵的常见词只有 dissociative /dɪˈsəuʃjətiv/。relative、negative 的 -ative 读 /ətɪv/，creative、native 的 -ative 读 /eɪtɪv/，但这些词的重音元音或音节都与 associative 不同，所以不押韵；sensitive 拼作 -itive，也仅是后缀读音相近，不押韵。
