Module 29 conscious awareness
Consciousness: your immediate awareness of you surrounding and
yourself (normal, walking awareness) everything you are experiencing
right now.
Functions
Informal prcessing to make decessions, slove problems, plan actions
1. Survival. Becoming consciuous of internak states (hunger , thirst)
which motivates survival behavioiurs (eating drinking)
2. Learning new task: first learning something it requires conscious
attention
Role of attention: before we can be conscious of something, we have
to pay attention to It
1.Split brain patients: recall, information processed in right hemisphere
is not conscious yet patient can act on information (draw, select)
presented to right hemisphere
2. brain damage: damage to certain regions of the cortex results in
“blind sight” a lack of awareness of objects in the visual field.
Intentional blindness: not becoming able you notice a stimulus when
focused on something else.
Attentional spotlight: our attention is always focusesd on a particular
aspect of our sensory experience. At any given time, we selectively
attend to a very limited aspect of all incoming sensory information.
Change blindness: failing to notice a change in a stimulus
Module 30. Preconscious and unconscious states
Precociousness: level of awareness in which information can become
readily available to consciousness if necessary
Automatic behaviours: things you do normally. Brushing teeth
Dual processing: information is often simultaneously processed on
separate conscious and unconscious tracks
