Meanings of mnemic causation in английском

All cases in which experience influences behaviour are instances of mnemic causation.

Habit, memory and thought are all developments of mnemic causation.

We might, in fact, define one chain of experience, or one biography, as a series of occurrences linked by mnemic causation.

We have found that "consciousness" is too narrow to characterize mental phenomena, and that mnemic causation is too wide.

It is probable, though not certain, that mnemic causation is derivative from ordinary physical causation in nervous (and other) tissue.

The question seems to me the same as the question whether mnemic causation is ultimate, which we considered without deciding in Lecture IV.

The only reason that could be validly alleged against mnemic causation would be that, in fact, all the phenomena can be explained without it.

The argument from the existence of mnemic phenomena in physiology must therefore be allowed a certain weight against the hypothesis that mnemic causation is ultimate.

Those who desire to make psychology as far as possible independent of physiology would do well, it seems to me, if they adopted mnemic causation.
