Question

Even though Hakeem was not thinking about the events surrounding the day when he graduated from high school, with a little concentration he can easily bring memories about that day to conscious awareness. In terms of Freud's theory of personality, Hakeem's memories are stored at the _____ level of awareness

Answer 1

Answer: preconscious 

Explanation:

The preconscious contains information that is just below the surface of awareness. It can be retrieved with relative ease and usually can be thought of as memory or recollection. Example, think of your middle name. That is an example of preconscious memory.

Freud divided human consciousness into three levels of awareness: the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. Each of these levels corresponds and overlaps with Freud's ideas of the id, ego, and superego.
