The following terms are ones constantly used in psychology, and are
briefly defined that there may be no haziness in their application.
_Sensation_ is the uninterpreted response of the mind to stimuli brought
by sense organs.
{ hot.
Examples: Feeling of { cold.
{ pain.
Sensation may arouse instinct and cause reflex action, or start a
feeling state, or a train of thought.
_Perception_ is the conscious recognition of the cause of a given
sensation.
{ fluid--water.
Example: { cold--snow.
{ pain--cut.
_Percept_ is a word often used to denote the mind's immediate image of
the thing perceived.
Percepts are of two kinds: object and quality.
Example: { object, as water.
{ quality, as fluid.
_Memory_ is the mind's faculty of retaining, recognizing, and
reproducing sensations, percepts, and concepts.
_Organic memory_ is the mind's reproduction of past bodily sensations.
