Recept
"Recept" (pronounced /ˈriːˌsɛpt/) is a term used in the work of 19th-century psychologist George Romanes to refer to an idea that is formed by the repetition of percepts (i.e., successive percepts of the same object).[1] The idea is similar to that of concatenated impressions, as seen in the work of David Hume.
The term is used in Richard Maurice Bucke's book, Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind. Bucke was a 19th-century Canadian psychiatrist.
