In an ever expanding series of studies De Houwer and his collaborators have taken to show that associative learning is, at base, relational, propositional contingency learning; i.e., that all putatively associative learning is in fact a nonautomatic learning process that generates and evaluates propositional hypotheses (Mitchell et al.

As a salt/pepper, These were explained by the "laws of association." The basic procedure was, first, to identify sequences or patterns in sequence.
