All these functions supports us for using word association tests upon language skills subjects, using some theoretical materials of chain theory, network theory, concept maps etc. The changed pattern of associations at different timings and the evaluation of the degree of storage of maximum number of lexical items in long term memory using WATs are shown. Key w ords: word association theory, lexical networks theory, chain theory, words association in mental lexicon.
