Freud's view of consciousness
- iceberg metaphor- conscious, preconscious, unconscious
- preconsious- memories can become conscious
- unconscious- taboo cannot become conscious b/c it is too painful to produce
- problem: if mind can repress unconscious, doesn't this mean unconscious is in memory?
-
modern view: cognitive unconscious
- mental systems can operate on unconscious level
- ex. perception operates outside of consciousness
- do not realize that unconscious is happening (thus not motivated to repress it)
-
attention
selection due to limited resources
-

-
we control our attention
exception: when someone calls your name, you instinctively pay attention

- failure to perceive
- didn't see it
-
inattentional amnesia
- failure to encode info
- didn't record it
