(n.) The quality, state, or capability, of being affected by something external; sensation; sensibility.
(n.) An idea; a notion.

Proception
Definition:
(n.) Preoccupation.
Example Sentences:
(1) Proceptive behavior, according to Beach (1976), maintains and accelerates sexual interactions toward the end goal.
(2) Proceptivity (hop-darting) was facilitated by progesterone in females, but was never observed in males.
(3) Proceptivity and receptivity were compared between young rats and aged rats.
(4) Results showed that olfactory bulb removal facilitates sexual receptivity and proceptivity in females exposed to 10% or 100% E2 in combination with 500 micrograms P. In contrast, sexual motivation was only demonstrated by olfactory bulbectomized females which received 100% E2 in combination with 500 micrograms P. These findings support the hypothesis that olfactory bulbectomy induces a behavioral hypersensitivity to estrogen, and suggest that sexual motivation is an estrogen-mediated response which requires a higher level of estrogen stimulation than sexual receptivity and proceptivity.
(5) Treatment of ovariectomized females with oestradiol activated all these proceptive displays but did not influence the combinations in which they occurred during IM periods.
(6) Proceptive behavior was not greatly affected by the frequency of tests, but the duration of receptivity was significantly reduced by frequent testing.
(7) Postoperative levels of lordosis and ultrasonic vocalization were used to evaluate implant effects on sexual receptivity and proceptivity.
(8) The problem of distinguishing between the effects of steroid hormones on proceptivity and receptivity in human females is discussed.
(9) In rats, sexual communication between male and female varies according to the production of signals by a female that signal receptivity, proceptivity, and attractivity.
(10) The lordosis-to-mount ratio and the occurrence of receptive and proceptive behaviors were scored to assess total sexual receptivity.
(11) In addition, hormone implant studies indicate that sites in the brain which are sensitive to the hormonal facilitation of sexual receptivity concurrently facilitate proceptive behavior.
(12) Although quipazine did not attenuate the pirenperone-induced inhibition of proceptivity, quipazine alone increased proceptivity.

(17) These results indicate that during "pair tests" adrenocortical sex steroids are not essential for maintenance of sexual behaviour in female marmosets and that activation of proceptivity by oestradiol 17 beta can occur in the absence of the adrenal glands.
