→Similarity and Induction
====Similarity and Induction====
In the memory when a combination of two or more SPs reoccurs, a connection in the memory is formed. For instance, if a smell<sub>x</sub> occur with specific sound<sub>y</sub>, and this combination reoccur several time while the still in memory, then the memory might assume that the combination is eminent. Therefore always, when smell<sub>x</sub> appear; also sound<sub>y</sub> appear. This will be called induction, because from some limited set of co-occurrence, the mind will assume that this co-occurrence will always reoccur. Of course the induction might not stand the next occurrence of either one of the SPs. We will deal with that this later.
