Elsewhere, he has given an account of the perceptive faculties, mentioning the faculties by which sensible things are represented in the mind and those by which they are retained. Following their terminology, he called the former “common sense” and the latter “imagination.”

Examples include a sheep’s perception of a non-sensible meaning in a wolf, and a ram’s perception of a non-sensible meaning in a ewe. This is a particular perception on the basis of which a judgment is made, just as sense judges what it observes. You therefore possess a faculty whose function is this. Moreover, you and many non-rational animals possess a faculty that retains these meanings after the judging faculty has passed judgment on them, distinct from the faculty that retains images.” This is the faculty of memory.
