==== John Locke ====
The phrase "association of ideas" was first used by John Locke in 1689. In chapter 33 of ''[[An Essay Concerning Human Understanding]]'', which is entitled “Of the Association of Ideas″, he describes the ways that ideas can be connected to each other.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book|first=Howard C.|last=Warren|url=https://archive.org/details/historyoftheasso007979mbp|title=A History Of The Association Psychology|date=1921|publisher=Charles Scribner's Sons|others=Universal Digital Library}}</ref> He writes,{{quote|"Some of our ideas have a natural correspondence and connection with one another."<ref name=":4">{{Cite book|last=Locke, John|title=An Essay Concerning Human Understanding|date=2000|publisher=Infomotions, Inc|oclc=927360872}}</ref>}} Although he believed that some associations were natural and justified, he believed that others were illogical, causing errors in judgment. He also explains that one can associate some ideas together based on their education and culture, saying, "there is another connection of ideas wholly owing to chance or custom".<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" /> The term ''associationism'' later became more prominent in psychology and the psychologists who subscribed to the idea became known as "the associationists".<ref name=":3" /> Locke's view that the mind and body are two aspects of the same unified phenomenon can be traced back to Aristotle's ideas on the subject.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=The Nature of Cognition|last=Sternberg|first=Robert|publisher=MIT Press|year=1999|isbn=9780262692120|location=Cambridge, MA|pages=69}}</ref>
