Pantomnesia
Pantomnesia
Term coined by Charles Richet to denote "regression of memory, the imagination that a thing experienced has been seen before." Richet also stated: "I propose pantomnesia to indicate that no vestige of our intellectual past is entirely effaced. Probably we are all pantomnesic. In weighing metapsychic facts it should be taken for granted that we do not absolutely forget anything that has once impressed our senses."
