Contiguity Theory
Contiguity theory is based on the work of
E. R. Guthrie.
It proposes that any stimulus and
response connected in time and/or space
will tend to be associated.
Contiguity Theory
Examples:
A baseball player wearing a certain pair
of socks on the day he hits three home
runs associates wearing the socks and
hitting home runs.
A student making a good grade on a
test after trying a new study technique
makes an association between the
stimulus of studying and the response of
getting a good grade.
Contiguity Theory
Guthries contiguity theory is one
foundation for the more cognitivelyoriented learning theory of neural
networks.
