What is consciousness? What are you thinking of right now? 5 minutes ago? What will you be thinking about in 2 minutes? Consciousness = Your individual awareness of your unique thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations and environment. Is constantly shifting & changing

Thanks to technology Consciousness is making a scientific come back William James - was interested in consciousness. He wanted to study it’s function. However, how would one do that? brain imaging tools & increased emphasis on cognitive psychology = consciousness can be studied from a scientific perspective

Levels of Consciousness Consciousness is NOT like an on/off switch. We are NOT conscious or unconscious. Some (mostly) agreed upon States of Consciousness: Conscious Level - What you are currently aware of, including yourself & environment. Nonconscious Level - Body processes controlled by your mind that are not usually (or ever) aware of... Heartbeat, respiration, digestion, etc. Preconscious Level - Information about yourself & environment that you are NOT currently thinking about, but could be. You aren’t currently thinking about your favorite toy as a child, but if asked about it, you would be. Subconscious Level - Information we are not currently aware of, but we know must exist due to behavior. (Great example: Mere Exposure Effect - when we prefer stimuli we have seen before over novel/new stimuli, even if we do not consciously remember seeing the old stimuli.) Unconscious Level - Psychoanalytic psychologists believe some events & feelings are unacceptable to our conscious mind & are repressed. (Many psychologists object to this concept as difficult or impossible to prove)
