In man, on the other hand, the development of mind has gone a decided step further.

The child very quickly begins to use symbols, words being the symbols of first importance to him.

He does not have, like the brute, to wait for successive experiences of like objects to impress themselves upon him; but he goes out toward the new, expecting it to be like the old, and so acting as to anticipate it.

He thus falls naturally into general ways of acting which it is the function of experience to refine and distinguish.

He seems to have more of the higher sort of what was called above Apperception, as opposed to the more concrete and accidental Associations of Ideas.
