Minds build concepts by abstracting common properties from perceptions, which have sensory units {empiricism, cognition}. Complex ideas are simple-idea combinations {image, cognition}. Mind can compare, identify, use logic, and actively perform other mental activities. Abstract ideas, such as mathematics or self, can come from sensory ideas. Ideas become associated if they are experienced to be near each other in time or space {contiguity principle, cognition} {associationism, cognition}.
