Apperception

Action of the mind in constructing its materials (sensations, memories, ideas) into groups or systems; e.g., when one sees an apple, he proceeds upon the apperception of various sensations, such as taste, color, odor, pre ure, etc., which are grouped together to give one thing in space. So, also, all the aspects of things which give us knowledge about them are due to apperception. Technically, it is known as the synthetic function of the mind.
