Association and Ground -- "We must say that just as one way in which a mental event causes a subseqeunt mental event is by Association (when I think of parsnips I think of my first school), so another way in which it can causes it, is siply by being a gound for it. ..." One kind of linkage is occasional and so not really caused by but occasioned by, and the other is an actual cause.
