KembaraXtra-Psychology - association value
Association value is the degree to which otherwise meaningless material (such as nonsense syllables) tends to evoke meaningful words or ideas. Empirical work suggests some syllables have high association value (for example BAL, FUT, MOD) while others are low (such as CIJ, VAF, XEJ).

KembaraXtra-Psychology - associative illusion
An associative illusion is any visual illusion where one part of an image is misperceived due to the influence of another part; it is also called a geometric illusion and includes many named illusions (e.g., Müller-Lyer, Ponzo, Ebbinghaus) and relates to broader concepts like context effects, field effects, and visual induction.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - associative learning
Associative learning is learning about contingencies between events, as in conditioning: in classical conditioning it involves learning links between conditioned and unconditioned stimuli, and in operant conditioning it involves learning links between responses and reinforcers. It connects with topics such as autoshaping, evaluative conditioning, and shaping.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - assortative mating
Assortative mating is a preference for mates who resemble oneself in phenotype, such as humans choosing partners similar in wealth, social class, intelligence, or attractiveness, and other organisms selecting mates similar on particular traits. It relates to heritability and population genetics and is contrasted with disassortative mating; the term derives from roots meaning “to classify.”

KembaraXtra-Psychology - astereognosis
Astereognosis is the inability to recognize objects by touch, often due to a lesion in the somatosensory association area, whereas the intact ability is called stereognosis; the term comes from Greek for “without,” “solid,” and “knowledge.”
