NLP Anchoring -
The concept of anchoring comes from Pavlov, Pavlov would ring a bell and show food to his dogs. After only a very short time Pavlov would just ring the bell and the dogs would salivate. Pavlov concluded the process of Stimulus-Response from this experiment. The bell was an anchor.
An anchor occurs any time a person is in an intense state and at the peak of that intense state a stimulus is consistently applied. The state and the stimulus become neurologically linked, so the state can then be triggered by setting off the stimulus.
