   • 1959, Ernest G. Schachtel, Metamorphosis: On the Conflict of Human Development and the Psychology of Creativity, page 149:

     The delight of the infant in the first resensations of something as being familiar is more readily comparable to the adult's pleasure in returning to a beloved countryside or home, or in meeting a friend again that it is to the much more frequent feeling of familiarity with which we barely look at our daily surroundings, only to relegate them to the unnoticed background.

   • 1964, Richard Ralph Straub, A View of the Levels of Perceptual Development in Autistic Syndromes, page 37:

     Their high level of form-perception and retentive memories are based on recognition, resensation and edetic imagery.

   • 2014, Marylou Lionells, ‎John Fiscalini, ‎Carola Mann, Handbook of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis:

     Prior to the rise of memory, which first appears in recognition and then goes on to the more complex resensation, there is no background against which to register anything new.
