  1. The act of localizing, or the state of being localized. The contrast as to the centralization or localization of administrative power … between England and other civilized countries. Sir E. Creasy, Eng. Const., p. 332.
  2. Specifically The reference, in perception, of a sensation to some part of the body (as the place where it originates), or to some point in space outside of the body (as a quality of a perceived object). Perception as a psychological term has received various, though related, meanings for different writers. It is sometimes used for the recognition of a sensation or movement as distinct from its mere presentation, and thus is said to imply the more or less definite revival of certain residua or re-presentations of past experience which resembled the present. More frequently it is used as the equivalent of what has been otherwise called the “localization and projection” of sensations—that is to say, a sensation presented either as an affection of some part of our own body regarded as extended or as a state of some foreign body beyond it. J. Ward, Encyc. Brit., XX. 52.
  3. Also spelled localisation.
