The Laws of Association
The British Associations, sitting in their armchairs several centuries ago, identified a number of laws of association, of which the most important were contiguity, frequency, and intensity.
In research, several principles have been shown to affect the strength of association between stimuli.
Questions:
1) Based on life experiences in learning, provide an example of each of the following principles of association: contiguity, frequency, and intensity.
2) Select one of your examples. Describe how a different principle of association might explain this example.
