The feeling one gets when an activity, smell, taste or sound is encountered and reminds one of a prior occurrence of exposure to the same experience.
I cannot read textbooks in bed anymore because every time I try to study in the library as a result of sensation by association.

After drinking way too much, if I smell Goldenschlager again, I get sensation by association and want to start throwing up.
