Primes¶
- Hebbian Learning
- Habit formation and skill acquisition. Co-occurring context-action pairs accrue strength, so the cue alone increasingly triggers the behavior — the stimulus-response literature in Hebbian shape. Team and organizational coordination. Members who repeatedly act jointly develop tighter coupling — shared shorthand, anticipated moves, reduced communication overhead; those who never coact never develop it. Social-network tie formation. Repeated interaction strengthens ties; absence lets them decay, with the same runaway risk (preferential-attachment-like concentration) that pure Hebbian rules show. Language and concept association. Words that co-occur become associated in semantic memory; distributional-semantics methods are large-scale Hebbian bookkeeping over corpora.
