Abstract: According to Wundt, apperception may be treated as the whole process of cognition and apperceptive combinations can be seen in man's character,temperament and talent as well. His idealistic dualism finds its manifestationsin his subjectivism with regard to the problem of causality and in hisvoluntarism. The penetrating strength of Wundt's doctrine of apperceptionin modern psychology is discussed in connection with psychology of learning,genetic epistemology(Piaget), theory of information processing andpsychology of expectation. The importance of systematic experimental studyin the problems of apperception is finally emphasized.
