Sapience is defined as “wisdom” or “sagacity.” SynonymsĪccording to, synonyms for sentience include: Sentient means “responsive to or conscious of sense impressions,” “aware,” and “finely sensitive in perception or feeling.” feeling or sensation as distinguished from perception and thought.In contrast, “sapience” comes from the Proto-Indo-European root sep-, which means “to taste, perceive.” From this root, the Latin word sapientia developed, meaning “good taste, good sense, discernment intelligence, wisdom.” The word sapience, a noun, passed into Old French before making its way into the English language in the late 1300’s. “Sentience,” a noun, entered the English language in 1817. We possess wisdom and self-awareness beyond animal sentience.Īccording to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word “sentience” originated with the Latin word sentientem, meaning “feeling.” The English adjective “sentient” dates from the 1630’s. Homo sapiens, also known as humans, are sapient beings. Some people confuse the word sentience with the word sapience, but there’s a simple trick to remember the difference.
In a review of the collection published in The Guardian, reviewer Jiyon writes, “In all the short stories, you will begin to notice that the robots become more advanced and increasingly independent…” This work of fiction provides an example of man-made sapience. The book I, Robot by Isaac Asimov includes a number of short stories about artificial intelligence. For example, the film Planet of the Apes shows a world in which gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees are self-aware. Science fiction plots often explore the possibility of sapience in other life forms. Sapience, on the other hand, is marked by a higher level of cognition and intelligence. Many animals can be described as sentient, although it’s hard to know for sure what’s going on inside a fish’s head. A sentient being has consciousness, the capacity for sensation, and a subjective experience.

The Introduction rubric is a minor revision of the rubric developed and described in: Stellmack, Konheim-Kalkstein, Manor, Massey, and Schmitz (2009), An assessment of reliability and validity of a rubric for APA-style introductions, Teaching of Psychology, 36, 102-107. We have rubrics for the Introduction, Method, Results & Discussion, and a complete paper. The Word-format documents below are the grading rubrics that we currently use to grade APA-style writing in our Introduction to Research Methods class. I am the Editor of Sentience, our online journal for undergraduate research in Psychology at the University of Minnesota. I have published work in the areas of auditory perception, teaching techniques, and a smattering of other topics. The course is required for Psychology Majors and Minors. I am the instructor/coordinator for PSY 3001W (Introduction to Research Methods).
