Associationism is a theory that suggests that the mind associates ideas, concepts, and experiences with one another based on their proximity in time, space, or psychological relevance. In this case, the mention of "black" brings to mind the concept of "white" due to the association between these two colours in our experience and memory. Dualism, empiricism, and nativism are other theories and concepts in philosophy and psychology that do not specifically explain the connection between two concepts in memory.
