Consciousness a construct sum total of all external stimuli & internal mental events of which we are aware at any given time

William James 1st to study consciousness

Normal waking consciousness everyday experiences

Introspection describing mental state failed because reports weren’t valid & different reports at same stimulus Ex = 4

Stream of consciousness flow of awareness like a Christmas tree Ex. Sit for 1 minute Ex. Reading a page in a book

Subconscious processes mental or behavioral activities that take place outside of conscious awareness like an iceberg

Preconscious brought into awareness by paying attention to them How did you get to school today?

Unconscious permanently unavailable to conscious revealed through hypnosis???

Nonconscious Can never become conscious Ex. Hair and nails growing, neurons firing

Freudian slips errors of language Please excuse Gloria. She has been sick and under the doctor. My son is under the doctor’s care and should not take PE. Please execute him. Please excuse Jimmy for being. It was his father’s fault. Mary Ann was absent 12/11-15 because she had a fever, sore throat, headache, and upset stomach. Her sister was also sick, and her brother had a low-grade fever. I wasn’t the best either; sore throat and fever. There must be something going around; her father even got hot last night.

Limited capacity can process only so much at one time argument for cell phones while driving
