Apprehension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Simple apprehension or conception can neither be true nor false." This distinction provides for the large class of mental acts in which we are simply aware of, or "take in" a number of familiar objects, about which we in general make no judgment, unless our attention is suddenly called by a new feature. Professor Stout further investigates the phenomena of apprehension, and comes to the conclusion that "it is possible to distinguish and identify a whole without apprehending any of its constituent details." On the other hand, there is an expectation that such details will, as it were, emerge into consciousness. Hence, he describes such apprehension as "implicit," and in so far as the implicit apprehension determines the order of such emergence, he describes it as "schematic". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Apprehension   (502 words)

Apprehension - LoveToKnow 1911 To these examples may be added the fact that one can fully understand an argument in all its bearings without in any way judging its validity. Without going into the question fully, it may be pointed out that the distinction between judgment and apprehension is relative. With this result may be compared Kant's theory of apprehension as a synthetic act (the "synthesis of apprehension") by which the sensory elements of a perception are subjected to the formal conditions of time and space. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Apprehension   (284 words)

Operation Gatekeeper One of Bonner's central contentions was that the apprehension figures reported by INS and the Border Patrol understate the number of illegal aliens apprehended in the San Diego Sector. Apprehension data alone cannot distinguish between changes in the volume of illegal alien traffic from changes in enforcement strategies that increase or decrease the percentage of crossers apprehended. If an employee miscounted the apprehension forms, the employee's next logical step would be to correct the number on the tally form, not to destroy some of the underlying documents to make the number of forms agree with the figure on the tally form. www.usdoj.gov /oig/special/9807/gkp04.htm   (4785 words)

Apprehension Apprehension is the military equivalent of the civilian term arrest. Apprehension that involves the removal of a person from an area of military jurisdiction and an order not to reenter also requires the permission of the commanding officer. This type of apprehension normally occurs when a person not subject to military law is found in an area of military jurisdiction in the act of committing a violation not amounting to a felony or a breach of the peace. www.tpub.com /maa/23.htm   (1251 words)

Philosophy of Apprehension   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Apprehension maintains that, when we consider the matter clearly, this gradation of ends, and consequently Aristotle's science of ethics, is impossible, and lacking foundation. According to apprehension, each of these theories is essentially non-sensical, since it describes reality itself as a particular species of thing: it is ideas, it is physical matter, it is both ideas and physical matter, it is a dream. Above all else, a proper understanding of apprehension is checked by the predominance of certain inherited philosophical concepts which exist as a ground from which all genuinely new philosophies are criticized by the majority of living philosophers. www.uwm.edu /People/jcdavis/ETMp1.html   (12391 words)

Sample Review of Literature Ayres and Hopf (1989) questioned if "the reductions in [communication apprehension] found when visualization is used in class are attributable to [visualization] and not simply do to the extra-attention those students receive." The study found that visualization is attributable to reductions in communication apprehension and not extra-attention (Ayres and Hopf, 1989). Male subjects with high levels of communication apprehension devalued the worth of their partner, but females did not find them to be less attractive than males with low levels of communication apprehension (Ayres, 1989). People with high communication apprehension perceive the partners negatively and are perceived by their partners in a more negative manner than people with low levels of communication apprehension. www.clt.astate.edu /dwwhite/sample_review_of_literature.htm   (7305 words)

The Daly-Miller Test Nonetheless, you should be alert to the fact that you may manifest signs of writing apprehension in performing certain writing tasks or in writing with varying purposes for different types of audiences.

Receiver Apprehension and College Students In other words, while communication apprehension (CA) relates to self-evaluative social approval based on the sending of messages, RA is associated with self-evaluation concerns based on the receiving of messages. The data showed that receiver apprehension was significantly reduced for the students in the experimental group who received the interactive skills training, but was, in fact slightly increased for students in the placebo group, and was almost completely unchanged for students in the control group. While receiver apprehension appears to inhibit learning for college students, the work of McDowell and McDowell (1978) and McDowell, McDowell, Pullan, and Linbergs (1981) which showed that RA is higher for younger students, points to a need for intervention at lower grade levels. www.lcsc.edu /humanities/Wilcox-paper.htm   (6276 words)

Lit Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Writing apprehension has be distinguished from writers block because it associates negative feels with writing and not an inability to write (Ayres and Hopf, 1991). Research on communication apprehension and employment interviews is scarce and Ayres and Crosby (1995) point out that a lack of a measurement instrument may be a cause and developed the personal report of communication apprehension in employment interviews (PRCAEI). Finally, receiver apprehension is a function of communication apprehension and understanding its communicative effects are necessary for neutralization. www.clt.astate.edu /jgrant/lit_review.htm   (7367 words)

Communication Over the Life-span: Communication Apprehension This may be due to the lack of involvement on the part of the children or the result of prejudice on the part of educators. This study seems to indicate that communication apprehension preoccupies the students so that they are unable to attend carefully to the material they are receiving. Most apprehensives manage to live their lives with less communication and perhaps less justice because of it. www.as.wvu.edu /~bpatters/lsc3.htm   (7937 words)

Searches Incident to Lawful Apprehension This means the apprehending official is aware of facts and circumstances that would justify a reasonable person to conclude that an offense had been or is being committed and the person to be apprehended committed or is committing the offense. For example, a locked suitcase next to the person apprehended may not be searched incident to the apprehension, but it may be seized and held pending authorization for a search based on probable cause. If it is shown that the object carried or possessed by a suspect was searched incident to the apprehension (that is, at the same time as the apprehension), then the search of that item is likely to be upheld. www.tpub.com /maa/31.htm   (1167 words)

20th WCP: The Formality of Reality: Xavier Zubiri's Critique of Hume's Analysis of Causality As the culmination of British empiricism, Hume's work is especially important because he realized the importance of analyzing human apprehension both as a step in the development of a comprehensive philosophy, and in connection with the problem of causality. Zubiri's point of departure for describing primordial apprehension is the immediacy and sense of direct contact with reality that we experience in our perception of the world; the things we perceive: colors, sounds, sights, are real in an extremely fundamental sense that cannot be overridden by subsequent reasoning or analysis. For example, if a piece of green paper is apprehended in primordial apprehension, one has indeed apprehended green; but knowing that it is green requires knowledge of colors and a comparison of this newly apprehended color with known colors and their names from prior apprehensions. www.bu.edu /wcp/Papers/Comp/CompFow1.htm   (3070 words)

Communication apprehension | Communication apprehensive tendencies Communication apprehension is seems to be closely related to inherent nature and intelligence of an individual.
