To the human mind, as it slowly awakens in every child, the world at first
seems a chaos consisting of mere individual experiences. The only connection
between them is that they follow each other consecutively. Of these
experiences, all of which at first are different from one another, certain
parts come to be distinguished by the fact that they are repeated more
frequently, and therefore receive a special character, that of being familiar.
The familiarity is due to our recalling a former similar experience; in other
words, to our feeling that there is a relation between the present experience
and certain former experiences. The cause of this phenomenon, which is at the
basis of all mental life, is a quality common to all living things, and
manifesting itself in all their functions, while appearing but rarely or
accidentally in inorganic nature. It is the quality by virtue of which the
oftener any process has taken place in a living organism the more easily it is
repeated...
