Document Summary
The cognitive unconscious: the broad set of mental activities of which people are completely unaware but that make possible thinking remembering, reasoning, and so on. We are generally aware of our mental product, but unaware of our mental processes. Your recollection of the dinner is mental product, but you are unaware of the process that bring you to the knowledge. E. g. p. are asked to to determine how sure they are that they witness the criminal, they are more sure when they get feedback. P. are given a series of shocks, which each shock being slightly severe than the last one, what was the maximum shock p. would accept. Pill group: p. are given placebo but told it will diminish the pain, but have side effect. Pill group were willing to accept fou times more the control group. Pill group attribute the trembling as the effect of the pill, therefore they are less influenced by their physical symptoms.
