Associative memory, says Prof. E. G. Conklin, of the University of Penn sylvania, is the fused impressions of processes which occur together, so that when one is recalled the other comes with it. Then he adds: There is no question whatever that bee leaving it's hive and flying for half a mile finds it's way back by associa- tive memory. It must travel by land marks; it cannot travel by any scent of itself in the atmosphere. That is out of the question" Among other creatures giving evidence of the pos session of associative memory, which is the first stage in the development of psychic life, Prof. Conklin mens tions ants and wasps, as we'll as cute tlefsh, squids, and the higher mole lusks.
