Associationism

Associationism is the idea that mental processes operate by the association of one mental state with its successor states.^[1] It holds that all mental processes are made up of discrete psychological elements and their combinations, which are believed to be made up of sensations or simple feelings.^[2] In philosophy, this idea is viewed as the outcome of empiricism and sensationism.^[3] The concept encompasses a psychological theory as well as comprehensive philosophical foundation and scientific methodology.^[2]
