percepcióbeli

Percepcióbeli is a Hungarian adjective meaning related to perception or concerning perceptual phenomena. It is formed from the noun percepció (perception) with the suffix -beli, which marks belonging or relation. The term is common in Hungarian academic writing, particularly in psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind, when the focus is on sensory processing and the interpretation of sensory input rather than on memory or higher-level cognition.

In use, percepcióbeli modifies nouns to denote perceptual aspects, for example percepcióbeli torzulások (perceptual distortions), percepcióbeli adatok (perceptual data), percepcióbeli folyamatok (perceptual processes), or percepcióbeli különbségek (perceptual differences). It often contrasts with kognitív or memóriabeli terms that refer to cognitive or memory processes. The term can describe phenomena arising from the sensory system (vision, audition, touch) or the interpretation stage where perception is influenced by context, expectations, or prior experience.

In research, distinguishing percepcióbeli effects from objective stimulus properties is important for experimental design and interpretation. Critics note that perceptual descriptions are inherently subjective, so researchers combine psychophysical measures with objective tasks to quantify perceptual phenomena.

Etymology: from percepció + -beli; analogous to other Hungarian adjective constructions such as érzelmi (emotional) or mechanikai (mechanical).
