David: Recalling a memory of what something smelled, tasted or even sounded like is based on the senses. Once these experiences are impressed into an idea the anticipation of those sensations become a part of someone’s imagination.
“These faculties may mimic or copy the perceptions of the senses; but they never can entirely reach the force and vivacity of the original sentiment (Hume, 1748).
Mary: “Like the lightning’s flash are many recollections; one idea assimilating and explaining another, with astonishing rapidity” (Wollstonecraft 1792). I also believe that intuition is what gives us our instantaneous recollections of somewhat truths that have may be clouded by other perceptions.
David: Belief that the mind has two classes in which perception are divided. “The less forcible and lively are commonly denominated thought or ideas” (Hume, 1748). But the other class is concerned with the names of objects leaving me to believe it is natural.
Mary: I think we do group our thoughts in a retrospective manner that eventually reforms as new information or situations that intermingles with old information for new perceptions. “forcing them to a view with interest the objects reflected from the impassioned imagination, which they passed over in nature (Wollstonecraft, 1792).
