Comprehension

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perception (obsolete: comprehension ) is the ability to quickly and precisely take in and use the essentials of facts and contexts.

In more highly developed organisms , comprehension is characterized by three sub-processes of information processing :

  1. the sensory recording of components and processes of the environment (through sensory organs i.e. through auditory , visual , olfactory and gustatory perception as well as through feeling );
  2. Processing through analysis , assignment to experience and classification , evaluation and emotional assignment, storage;
  3. Reproduction ( memory ) and use, for example in similar situations or when passing on the experience to others.

The perception thus describes one of the properties of highly developed nervous systems and is a component of intelligence .
