impressions

<epistemology, empiricism, idealism> Hume terms the direct experiential deliverances of sensation impressions; simple ideas,for Hume are faint copies (in memory) of these sensory impressions, and complex ideas (all the rest) are compounded from these simple ideas, much as they are for Locke. See also: empiricism, ideas.
