CONSCIOUSNESS The Study of Consciousness

Introduction

Consciousness as Construct Consciousness has not always been studied in psychology. William James (1904), John Watson (1913) Today consciousness is studied because it can be linked with measureable behaviors. Talking Brain Waves Consciousness is a psychological construct.

Meanings of Consciousness Consciousness is used in a variety of different ways. Sometimes in terms of sensory awareness. Other times it may refer to direct inner awareness. A third way is to refer to the sense of self that each person experiences.

Sensory Awareness Consciousness usually involves all 5 of our senses. You are conscious, or aware, of things outside yourself. Selective Attention is when you focus on a particular stimulus. Direct Inner Awareness is being conscious of your thoughts, images, emotions, or memories even though you do not sensually experiencing them.

Levels of Consciousness Consciousness is being aware of inner and exterior stimuli. The preconscious are things you are not currently aware of but could be recalled if you needed them. The unconscious (sometimes called subconscious) is unavailable to awareness under most circumstances. The Nonconscious Level are our basic biological functions.

Levels of Consciousness

Altered States of Consciousness An altered state of consciousness is when a person’s sense of self or sense of the world changes. Altered states of consciousness occur when you are starting to doze off, under the influence of drugs, during meditation, biofeedback, and hypnosis.
