What is another word for association theory?
Pronunciation: [ɐsˈə͡ʊsɪˈe͡ɪʃən θˈi͡əɹi] (IPA) 
Association theory refers to the idea that learning occurs through the association of stimuli. There are several synonyms for association theory, including behaviorism, classical conditioning, and stimulus-response theory. Behaviorism operates under the belief that all behavior can be explained through observable, measurable actions. Classical conditioning, a well-known example of behaviorism, involves associating a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response. Stimulus-response theory suggests that behavior is a result of an individual's response to external stimuli. These synonyms all describe the same basic principle of learning through association, but may differ in their specific applications and implications.
