Sphere Association

Sphere Association is a concept in cognitive psychology that describes how people mentally connect ideas based on shared characteristics or attributes. Imagine a sphere where each point represents a specific idea; ideas that are similar or related are close together within the sphere. When we think of one idea, we naturally recall related ideas from within the same "sphere." This helps us organize knowledge and enhance understanding by creating networks of associations, making it easier to retrieve information when we need it. Overall, it illustrates how our minds categorize and relate various concepts.
