"Association" is a general term here that allows attacks to be targets *on a per-hash basis*.
In other words, you don't have to try each word against each hash. Instead, you can try just one word against one hash, at scale. Chick3nman has called this a "salt-wise" attack in the past.
Put another way: a correlation attack is one type of association attack.
