The animal is tied down strictly to his experience; he does not anticipate to any extent what is going to happen.

He does not use one experience as a symbol and apply it beforehand to other things and events.

He is in a sense passive; stimulations rain down upon him, and force him into certain attitudes and ways of action.

As far as his knowledge is "general" it is called a Recept.

A dog has a Recept of the whip; so far as whips are not too different from one another, the dog will act in the same way toward all of them.
