perception

the conscious mental registration of a sensory stimulus. The ability of animals to perceive is apparent from their responses to the application of stimuli but the nature of the perceptivity is only surmised. The difficulty in examining an animal is to decide whether a failure to respond to a stimulus is due to lack of perception, inability to respond or disinclination to do so.
