Excerpt from On Memory and the Specific Energies of the Nervous System Of many things and events, especially if they have been perceived only once or very superficially, merely single, unusually striking qualities are reproducible; of other things only those qualities are reproducible which have been remarked on former occasions, our brain being in this way prepared for their reception. Such are responded to more strongly and enter consciousness more easily and energetically. Thus their ability of being reproduced increases. In this way, what is com mon to many things and hence has been most fre quently perceived, will by and by be so reproducible as to be easily called forth by a slight internal impulse, without any exterior and real stimulus. Such a sen sation, which is, as it were, produced internally, for instance, the idea of white, is not of the same vivacity as the sensation of white color externally produced by white light. But it is, after all, essentially the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
