Semon, "Die mnemischen Empfindungen," pp. 19-20. We may consider three different ways in which it has been sought to distinguish images from sensations, namely: By the less degree of vividness in images; By our absence of belief in their "physical reality"; By the fact that their causes and effects are different from those of sensations.
True memory, as opposed to "immediate memory," applies only to events sufficiently distant to have come to an end of the period of fading. Such events, if they are represented by anything present, can only be represented by images, not by those intermediate stages, between sensations and images, which occur during the period of fading. * See Semon, "Die mnemischen Empfindungen," chap. vi.
And there is hardly any limit to the vagueness of which images are capable. In such cases, the meaning of the image, if defined by relation to the prototype, is vague: there is not one definite prototype, but a number, none of which is copied exactly.* * Cf. Semon, Mnemische Empfindungen, chap. xvi, especially pp. 301-308.
