Locke said that mind fist let in a particular idea, grow familiar to that idea, lodged it in the memory and name them. But he doesn't think that knowledge in the mind is not innate, but acquired, which are imprinted by external things. He purpose the idea of an infant having earliest to do, which make the most frequent impressions on their senses.
he said that, "For a child knows a certainly, before it can speak, the difference between the ideas of sweet and bitter, as it knows afterwards, when it comes to speak, that wormwood and suga-plums are not the same thing."
