Thomas Brown (1778-1820), a philosopher, proposed many principles of learning. He never performed any studies, but he suggested that the degree of intensity in the stimuli will impact the association. The strength of the association depends on how often or how recent the stimuli was paired. Brown also theorized what would later be the forgetting curve, or the rate at which something is forgotten over time. Ebbinghaus later expanded upon these principles.
