1888 G. J. Romanes Mental Evol. Man ix. 185 Higher Recepts, then, are what may be conveniently termed Pre-concepts: they occupy the interval between the receptual life of brute and the earliest dawn of the conceptual life of man. A pre-concept, therefore, is that kind of higher recept which is not to be met with in any brute; but which occurs in the human being after surpassing the brute and before attaining self-consciousness.

1896 Nat. Sci. Dec. 382 From this he argues that there is a logic of recepts in animals, and probably also a logic of preconcepts.
