Properception
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Properception is a term used in psychiatry. Where perception is the capturing of the world through external stimuli, properception is capturing the world through internal means.
The concept of properception is related to proprioception, the kinesthetic "sixth sense" which is the faculty of knowing the position, orientation, posture and disposition of our limbs and other body parts, through information provided by receptors that are in muscles, joints and elsewhere in the body.
