There are nouns that describe the performance of, or ability to perform a verb E.g.
- perception / perceive
- communication / communicate
- collaboration / collaborate
Is there a term for these nouns or for their relationship to the verb?

I don't really understand. Can you give an example of a sentence with a "fill in the missing word" gap, and a clearer explanation of what you want that word to mean?

I don't really have a sentence, I'm looking for a search term to help me identify other examples of this kind of noun. However, right after posting this I followed some links to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deverbal_noun which is basically what I wanted to know.

Ah, right. As in Grammatical phrasing is encouraged on ELU is a "deverbal noun" usage - in contrast to Phrasing grammatically is encouraged on ELU, which is a "verbal noun" usage. I think.
