Associationism

Associationism is a type of theory that suggests that our minds work by connecting and associating ideas together. It means that when we think, information and knowledge can be linked together to form a new thought or understanding. Think of it like a bunch of different puzzle pieces being put together to form a bigger picture. When we learn something, we make connections between different pieces of information, and our minds start creating connections and relationships between them. As we gain more knowledge, these connections become stronger and more elaborate, which helps us remember and use information in our daily lives.
