Simple Apprehension

Simple Apprehension

• The process results in the formulation of an idea or concept.

 Concept: 

• It is the mental image which is created by the mind on the process of conceiving the object.
• It is attained through the process of abstraction.

               

Abstraction: It is the mental process whereby the mind separates the essential features of an object from the non-essential ones.

Essential Features are those without which a certain object will cease to manifest itself.

Examples:           CPU of a computer.

                          Sim card of a cellphone.

Non-essential Features are those that are not substantial but are present to the very essence of the object.

                Examples:           Collar of a t-shirt.

                                          A Penholder
