Apperception

 

Apperception

Apperception is the cognitive process by which a newly experienced sensation is related to past experiences to form an understood situation.

Example: We see a fire (visual perception). By apperception we correlate the appearance of fire with past experiences of being burned. Having combined present and past experience we realize this is a situation in which we should avoid placing our hand in the fire and being burned.
