Association and Imagination - Basic Principles of Brain Science and Effective Learning

Abstract

To join one information to any other information the link which has to be used by brain science is Association. Dr. Thorn Dyke has spoke about it several times. Let’s understand with the help of an example: There is atrainand in that trainthere are 20 compartments and the first compartment consists of an engine. Which means that the power to move the train is consisted only with one compartment but still all the other compartments of the train move all together, the only reason behind that is the linkage or the association of all the compartments with each other. So if we break the linkage of all the compartments then each compartment would need a separate engine to move on! The fact of the brain is that, whatever our brain memorizes it always do it with the help of association.
