Eidetic Imagery and Paleolithic Art

This discourse treats experimentation only in the remote past, from early Aurignacian in the late Holocene to early Nuclear. Observations by Galton, Fechner, and Wundt lead to reexamining the connection between eidetic images and prehistoric art in the light of their independent perceptions of the problem. The differing positions of European and American investigators are reviewed in relation to the proposed connection.
