The nervous system utilizes the early arriving sensations to create the internal sensations of late-arriving or non-arriving sensory stimuli. The sight of lightning provides the impression that a sound is likely to follow. This property allows the nervous system to anticipate the internal sensations of the remaining sensory stimuli and prepares it to execute motor actions for survival.
