	Apperception - LoveToKnow 1911
		In Kantian terminology apperception is (1) transcendental - the perception of an object as involving the consciousness of the pure self as subject, and (2) empirical, - the cognition of the self in its concrete existence.
		F. Herbart apperception is that process by which an aggregate or "mass" of presentations becomes systematized (apperceptionssystem) by the accretion of new elements, either sense-given or product of the inner workings of the mind.
		Apperception is thus a general term for all mental processes in which a presentation is brought into connexion with an already existent and systematized mental conception, and thereby is classified, explained or, in a word, understood; e.g.

	William James on Apperception
		Perhaps the word 'apperception,' flourished in their eyes and ears as it nowadays often is, embodies as much of this mystification as any other single thing.
		There are as many types of apperception as there are possible ways in which an incoming experience may be reacted on by an individual mind.
		And it may well solemnize a teacher, and confirm in him a healthy sense of the importance of his mission, to feel how exclusively dependent upon his present ministrations in the way of imparting conceptions the pupil's future life is probably bound to be.

	The A Priori Grounds Of The Possibility Of Experience (Version B) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The identity of the apperception of a manifold which is given in intuition contains a synthesis of representations, and is possible only through the consciousness of this synthesis.
		The supreme principle of the same possibility in its relation to the understanding is that the manifold of intuition should be subject to the conditions of the original synthetic unity of apperception.
		The transcendental unity of apperception is how all the manifold given in an intuition is united in a concept of an object.

	Apperception Summary
		Apperception is usually defined as the mental process that raises subconscious or indistinct impressions to the level of attention and at the same time arranges them into a coherent intellectual order.
		There he distinguished between empirical apperception, the person's awareness of himself which depends on the changing conditions of his consciousness, and transcendental apperception, or "pure reason," the inner, unchangeable fundamental, and therefore "transcendental" unity of consciousness.
		The apperceptive will is not an a-posteriori conception, but an a-priori, postulated by reason, a transcendental quality of the soul, postulated by empirical psychology as the ultimate source of all mental processes, yet at the same time beyond the competence of the empirical psychologist.

	APPERCEPTION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Only apperception, which is a form of consciousness not in act of the occurrence of an act of perception, recalling the scholastic reflexio “in actu exercito” or “conscientia concomitans”, makes it possible to differentiate particular data from the whole of the field of perception.
		The I, the apperception of self-consciousness, is this unity” (ibid.).
		Apperception in the function of reifying consciousness by connecting it with the physical world (the body) was banished, as it were, (as in Hegel) as a result of the application of the so-called phenomenological reduction, which was intended to “put in brackets” all transcendents that go beyond the sphere of consciousness.

	Apperception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By apperception we correlate the appearance of fire with past experiences of being burned.
		In philosophy, Kant distinguished empirical apperception from transcendental apperception.
		The second is "the pure, original, unchangeable consciousness which is the necessary condition of experience as such and the ultimate foundation of the synthetic unity of experience" (Otto F. Kraushaar in Runes).

		Apperception, as the basic condition of thought in general, is the basic condition of all concepts, including the ontological concepts: the categories.
		Apperception is thus the primordial source of the threefold synthesis, and divides a priori into apprehension, reproduction and precognition.
		Since transcendental apperception is thus always present in the sequence of nows, yet the basis of its being present lies outside the sequence of nows, one might ask why the temporal connotation of the "always" needs to extend beyond the sequence of nows to transcendental apperception itself.

	Of the Originally Synthetical Unity of Apperception. SS 12
		I call it pure apperception, in order to distinguish it from empirical; or primitive apperception, because it is self-consciousness which, whilst it gives birth to the representation" I think," must necessarily be capable of accompanying all our representations.
		And thus the synthetical unity of apperception is the highest point with which we must connect every operation of the understanding, even the whole of logic, and after it our transcendental philosophy; indeed, this faculty is the understanding itself.
		This fundamental principle of the necessary unity of apperception is indeed an identical, and therefore analytical, proposition; but it nevertheless explains the necessity for a synthesis of the manifold given in an intuition, without which the identity of self-consciousness would be incogitable.

		Historically, the Thematic Apperception Test or TAT has been amongst the most widely used, researched, and taught projective psychological tests.
		Its adherents claim that it taps a subject's unconscious to reveal repressed aspects of personality, motives and needs for achievement, power and intimacy, and problem-solving abilities.
		Michael Crichton included the TAT in the battery of tests given to the disturbed patient and main character Harry Benson in his The Terminal Man novel.

	Sport Journal, Pain Apperception of Contact and Non-Contact Sport Athletes
		The purpose of this investigation was to determine if there were differences in pain apperception among (a) contact and non-contact sport athletes, (b) male and female sport performers, (c) athletes who played different sports, and (d) athletes of low, medium and high skill levels.
		First, the lower pain apperception among female athletes may have been caused by the fact that they have not had as much experience as male athletes with pain and as a result did not know how to respond to the line drawings showing a man in his early forties in painful situations.
		The measurement of pain apperception among athletes in different sports was another important objective of this study.

		It belongs a priori to this unity of apperception that it extends itself in the time-dimension; there lies in it the original synthesis of the three syntheses, that is, the unity of consciousness is in itself such a pure time-related imaginative synthesis.
		Thus the transcendental unity of apperception relates to the pure synthesis of imagination, as a condition a priori of the possibility of all connection of the manifold in one cognition.
		The unity of apperception in relation to the synthesis of imagination is the understanding, and this same unity in relation to the transcendental synthesis of imagination is the pure understanding.

	Notes 4a: The transcendental deduction (continued)
		Her is a brief summary of the A deduction: Kant describes a threefold synthesis: apprehension of the manifold of intuition, its reproduction, and its recognition in a consciousness of the unity of the act to which each apprehended and reproduced element belongs.
		Kant then tries to connect unity of apperception with the categories, that is, he wants to say that for the requirements of the unity of apperception to be satisfied, the synthesis must bring the manifold unter the categories.
		He goes on to explain that he uses the word "objective" to indicate his view that the unity of apperception is what confers on the judgment relation to an object.

	Apperception Theory of Grieving
		Because the apperception theory is radically different from traditional theories of grieving it will be controversial, especially among clinicians who have been trained in the old theories.
		We find meaning in all of our sensory experiences through apperception, because in a deep sense, every sensory experience is "new." When we see a trusted friend, for instance, we recognize him or her by comparing our immediate visual image to our pre-existing encyclopedia.
		Karl Jung's definition of apperception: "a psychic process by which a new content is articulated to similar already-existing contents in such a way as to be understood, apprehended, or clear" (Oxford English Dictionary).

	Topics — Apperception vs. Choiceless Awarenss
		Apperceptive awareness can be evoked by paying exclusive attention to being fully alive right now.
		The potent combination of attention, fascination, reflection and contemplation produces apperception, which happens when the mind becomes aware of itself.
		Apperception — a way of seeing that is arrived at by reflective and fascinating contemplative thought — is when ‘I’ cease thinking and thinking takes place of its own accord and ‘me’ disappears along with all the feelings.

	Kant's View of the Mind and Consciousness of Self (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		By ‘apperception’, Kant means the faculty or capacity for judging in accord with a rule, for applying concepts.
		Apperception is the faculty that performs syntheses of recognition (A115).
		Neither consciousness of self by doing apperceptive acts nor empirical consciousness of self as the object of particular representations yields knowledge of oneself as one is. On pain of putting his right to believe in immortality as an article of faith at risk, Kant absolutely had to claim this.

	Behavior OnLine Forums - Apperception
		Adler's use of the "antithetical scheme of apperception" reflects the individual's repetitive way of thinking and feeling about signficiant people and events that supports the limited perspective of his goal and private logic.
		Antithetical apperception reduces reality to a simplified, "either--or" choice, permitting quick, emotion-laden choices that keep an individual moving toward an unconscious, fictional final goal and away from an imagined, dreaded feeling of inferiority.
		A small refinement would be the recognition that the individual's biased perspective is rooted in a picture of the world that he arrived at very early in life.

		Most crucially, the arguments for the necessary unity of apperception fail, Kant provides no convincing argument that the necessary unity of apperception is sufficient for experience of objects, and the argument that the logical forms of judgment have correlates, the categories, that apply to these objects is inadequate.
		This idea might well be the sense of his claims that "the synthetic unity of apperception is the highest point to which we must ascribe all employment of the understanding" (B134 note), and "the principle of the synthetic unity is the supreme principle of all employment of the understanding" (B136, title).
		The type of unification of a manifold he refers to in this characterization is synthetic, and in particular it requires the synthesis that produces the unity of apperception, for immediately following the characterization of an object he claims that "all unification of representations demands unity of consciousness in the synthesis of them" (B137).

	The Children’s Apperception Test
		Description: The Children’s Apperception Test (CAT-A) is a projective method of describing personality by studying individual differences in the responses made to stimuli presented in the form of pictures of animals in selected settings.
		The use of animal rather than human figures was based on the assumption that children of these ages would identify more readily with appealing drawings of animals than with drawings of humans.
		The author discusses interpretation on the basis of psychoanalytic themes, but there is no compelling reason that Children’s Apperception Test protocols could not be interpreted from other theoretical frameworks.

	Classical Adlerian Quotes: The Antithetical Sceme of Apperception - Alfred Adler Institute of San Francisco
		That apperception is in the nature of a creative act is to be inferred from the fact that we are able to apperceive objects and persons just as in memory, but from an angle not permitted by the immediate perception, when, for example, we see ourselves in a memory-picture.
		Their tendentious apperception becomes repetitious in various situations because people are not oriented to reality but to a pre-conceived prototype toward which they move.
		The antithetical scheme of apperception is how he cognitively processes what he has selected, giving it meaning and fitting it into a self-consistent unity.

		The abnormal should only be recorded as throwing light on the normal, and should be distinctly noted as abnormal.
		For instance, a child saw for the first time a pot of ferns; being asked what it was, he replied, "A pot of green feathers." In this case the child apperceived the object by means of the attributes of size, shape, and flexibility.
