 | | association, in psychology, a connection between different sensations, feelings, or ideas by virtue of their previous occurrence together in experience. |
 | | The concept of association entered contemporary psychology through the empiricist philosophers John Locke, George Berkeley, David Hume, and David Hartley, and the British associationist school of James Mill, John Stuart Mill, and others (see associationism). |
 | | However, Gestalt psychologists, who believe that association between items is dependent on their relations to each other, interpret association as an aftereffect of perceptual organization. |
