What:
Classification research method. Participants write down as many terms related to a given category or topic within a restricted timeframe. These terms are then analyzed for co-occurrence and ordering across participants.

Why:
Alternative to card sorting, shows what terms have strongest associations within the category for participants. Debriefing with participants afterwards can reveal patterns, preferences, and expectations related to content categories.
