Measures of Consciousness

Question 1 • Psychology A

According to Freud, the preconscious level of consciousness would be used to __________.

Answer
A
pay attention to one’s sore feet
B
perceive an approaching car
C
recall one’s memories of childhood
D
urge one to eat more potato chips

Explanation

The preconscious contains information that is not currently in awareness but can be brought into awareness when needed. Recalling childhood memories fits this description. Paying attention to sore feet or noticing an approaching car involves current awareness, while an urge to eat more potato chips is more closely associated with unconscious drives.
