One person may like all dogs and pet every dog ones encounters, having been around dogs all of one's life, while another person may not trust dogs having limited or bad experience, and stiffen with
the encounter of any dog. This kind of varying registration is termed
Interpretive Context, which means that present sensory subjects are interpreted individually by the context of association or experiences, one has previously had with any given subject.
The Interpretive Context is different for different kinds of people in terms of dissimilar experience, such as the difference in wealth, climate and geography, education or outdoor experience. The individual recognizes, identifies and gives context to present consciously aware sensory impressions and images by comparison with association.
A dog is distinguished from a cat by remembered and associated past experience of dogs and cats. Primarily the Associative Landscape is derived from actual physical everyday experience, or from more removed means such as reading, watching films, or listening to others such as story telling, and from thinking and imagination.
Association is the screen and filter in which all present reality is interpreted. Associative Landscape is an automatic associative response to present sensory experience. Associative Landscape is the portals from which reality is perceived and interpreted. These portals can be generalized into categories as associative perspectives, such as the type of national culture, political perspectives, religious, beliefs or educational training. They also may include the experiences and values inculcated by one's family back ground, the friends and relationships one has had and general experience within one's community. From this Association one interprets the world.
Because Association affects and determines the way one experiences present circumstance, one can consider the nature of Associations to be important and to affect the quality of one's life.
