"'''Recept'''" is a term used in the work of 19th-century [[Psychology|psychologist]] [[George Romanes]] to refer to an idea that is formed by the repetition of similar [[percept]]s, as successive percepts of the same object. The notion is similar to that of concatenated [[impression]]s, found in the work of [[David Hume]].
The term was then used in the infamous book [[Cosmic consciousness]] by [[Richard Bucke]].
