The Jungian archetype is an example of Sheldrake's hypothesis of formative causation, both of which postulate collective memory. The presence of collective memory was tested by having three groups of students learn the Morse Code, which had been previously learned by a large number of people, and a Novel Code that had never been learned by others and was constructed so as to be of equal intrinsic difficulty. As predicted, the Morse Code was initially easier to learn, and the Novel Code itself became easier over the three groups. The results confirm Sheldrake's theory and lend credibility to Jung's concepts of the archetype and the collective unconscious while suggesting that the latter contains much more than archetypal memories. It was found that this phenomenon was related to the feeling function being introverted or ambiverted rather than extraverted. This suggests that introverted feeling acts as a receiving mechanism for collective memory and leads to the speculation that collective memory includes feeling tones attached to content. It may therefore be that extraverted feeling acts as a sending mechanism which creates that feeling tone.

This paper is composed of two parts. The first one focuses on transference, place of interaction of the past and of the present. The interpretation, aimed at its clarification, tackles the past in the present and the progressive differentiation of the one from the other.
The relationship between past and present in the transference is studied and therefore their capacity to represent one another, and on the contrary, to be used as a defence against the other. How a past, that is not remembered but rather denied, can be repeated and dramatized in the
