Per Wikipedia, David Hartley Frs (1705 - 1757) Was An English Philosopher And Founder Of The Associationist School Of Psychology. Like John Locke, He Asserted That, Prior To Sensation, The Human Mind Is A Blank Slate. By A Growth From Simple Sensations, Those States Of Consciousness Which Appear Most Remote From Sensation Come Into Being. And The One Law Of Growth Of Which Hartley Took Account Was The Law Of Contiguity, Synchronous And Successive. By This Law He Sought To Explain, Not Only The Phenomena Of Memory, Which Others Had Similarly Explained Before Him, But Also The Phenomena Of Emotion, Of Reasoning, And Of Voluntary And Involuntary Action. His Attempts At Explicit Albeit Somewhat Obvious Analysis Of The Mechanics Of Mental Activity Laid An Important Framework Of Discussion For Subsequent Academic Psychology.
