Summary

Portrait of Wilhelm Wundt Wilhelm Wundt Outlines of Psychology — Translator's Preface to the first English edition (1897)

Since the process referred to by “Perception” is so entirely different from that indicated by the English word perception, it seemed best to employ a word whose signification is not so fixed. Apprehension was, accordingly, used, and the danger of confusing it with the translation of “Auffassung” was for the most part avoided by using other equivalents for the latter.
