According to the principle of association of mental operations, which law states that one idea leads to another because in the past they have occurred together in terms of either time or space?

The law of contiguity holds that one idea leads to another because they once occurred together in time or space.

Law of partial activity (A) is not the associative law described here.

Law of proximity (B) is a Gestalt grouping principle in perception, not idea association.

Law of mental set (C) concerns readiness to respond, not contiguity.

Contiguity means events experienced close together become mentally connected.

Aristotle listed contiguity, similarity and contrast as the laws of association.
