The first sight model helps the parapsychological community answer difficult questions like “why do ghosts wear clothes?” or “how can there be apparitions of living individuals?”

Such experiences are assumed the result of hallucinations, possibly mediated via telepathy or clairvoyance. Such hallucinations are assumed a product of the mind and constructed from images in the “receivers” memory, rather from the “senders” memory.

Therefore, it is assumed that no mediation of visual impressions from the sender to the receiver has occurred, but rather the mediation of generalized information to be later cognized via the receivers own memorial images.  Assumptions continue suggesting that the images are retrieved from the receiver’s conscious and subconscious memory (i.e. extrasensory experience arises exclusively from memory).
