Induction
===Induction===
Induction is the way the brain links between two phenomena. It is created when two phenomena happen together and the brain catches these events which happen in temporal proximity. in biology, induction is also called short term potentiation (STP) and [[LTP|long term potentiation]] (LTP).

Induction is consolidated after serval repetitions of temporal proximity between the phenomena. The strength of the association between the phenomenal depends on several factors like the proximity of the intervals, the amount of intervals and for how long it was repeated. The strength of the Association will decline with time if no repetition are presented.
When STP or LTP are created the brain will create an induction based on only one phenomenon. For instance, after we learn about the quacking duck it is enough for us to hear the quack of a duck to imagine the full duck.
