Your awareness of external events and internal sensations under a condition of arousal. You use this to organize your behavior , thoughts , and feelings. Individuals understanding that they and others thinks , feel , perceive , and have private experiences: higher - level consciousness. Controlled processes - most alert state of concessions. Executive functioning - capacity to harness consciousness and focus on specific thoughts while ignoring others. Problem solve: lower - level consciousness. Do not interfere with other ongoing activities. Daydreaming - level of consciousness between active consciousness and dreaming: altered state of consciousness. Mental states noticeably different from normal awareness. Waking subconsciousness awareness - processes occurring just below our awareness.
