Excerpt from Dr. Pick's Method Applied to Acquiring the French Language
Strong ideas expel weaker ones from the mind. This) is shown in the fact that if one thing attracts our atten tion all other ideas disappear from the mind, because they have been expelled from it by a stronger idea. Strong ideas do not even admit weaker ones to the mind,' they repel them. This is shown in the fact that if one thing preoccupies us, we neither hear nor see anything going on around us, though our ears and eyes are in the same condition as they were before. Whatever tries to come into'the mind is immediately repelled by the strong ideas present. But ideas of equal strength will blend together. This blending of two ideas of equal strength is called association of ideas.
