Recognition, philosophy: the ability of a conscious subject to identify a pattern that has already been received by this subject. This ability is no knowledge-how and no quale, since there is no particular way of experience that all the cases of recognition have in common. However, the ability to recognize certain features can be learned, but this is actually an identification and no recognition. See also memory, qualia, knowledge-how, knowledge, computation, identification, individuation, similarity, equality.

R. Brandom on Recognition - Dictionary of Arguments

I 628
Recognition/Repeatability/Brandom: repeatable events are lexical types. But cotypicity is neither necessary nor sufficient, so they are considered as occurrences of the same semantic meaning. Not sufficiently, because the substitution inference is not guaranteed here: not necessary: because the relation between predicates already guarantees the accuracy - e.g. this organism is a mammal, so it is a vertebrate (anaphora) - required: recognition (reidentifiability). >Repetition.
