Experience refers to conscious events in general, more specifically to perceptions, or to the practical knowledge and familiarity that is produced by these processes.

Understood as a conscious event in the widest sense, experience involves a subject to which various items are presented.

In this sense, seeing a yellow bird on a branch presents the subject with the objects "bird" and "branch", the relation between them and the property "yellow".

Unreal items may be included as well, which happens when experiencing hallucinations or dreams.

When understood in a more restricted sense, only sensory consciousness counts as experience.

In this sense, experience is usually identified with perception and contrasted with other types of conscious events, like thinking or imagining.

In a slightly different sense, experience refers not to the conscious events themselves but to the practical knowledge and familiarity they produce.

In this sense, it is important that direct perceptual contact with the external world is the source of knowledge.

Writing is the act of creating a persistent representation of human language.

Trust means believing that another person will do what is expected.

It brings with it a willingness for one party (the trustor) to become vulnerable to another party (the trustee), on the presumption that the trustee will act in ways that benefit the trustor.

In addition, the trustor does not have control over the actions of the trustee.

Scholars distinguish between generalized trust (also known as social trust), which is the extension of trust to a relatively large circle of unfamiliar others, and particularized trust, which is contingent on a specific situation or a specific relationship.

Scientific literature comprises academic papers that report original empirical and theoretical work in the natural and social sciences.

Within a field of research, relevant papers are often referred to as "the literature".

Academic publishing is the process of contributing the results of one's research into the literature, which often requires a peer-review process.
