ASSOCIABILITY is a term used by Herbert Spencer (Principles of Psychology, sec. 16o ff.) to denote the capacity of an experience (state of consciousness or feeling) of one kind for association or integration with others so as to lead subsequently to mutual revival or recall. He pointed out that emotions are less associable with one another than are other mental experi ences. He explained this by saying that associability or integra tion varies directly with the relational character of experiences, and emotions are least relational, whereas visual experiences, e.g., are among the most relational.
