AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -PRECONSCIOUS: Latent parts of the brain that are readily available to the conscious mind, although not currently in use. Freud used this term to make clear that the repressed is a part of the unconscious, not all of it, which is to say that the repressed does not comprise the whole unconscious.

Detailed explanation-2: -Preconscious memories are by definition long-term memories. Short-term memories are memories held for brief periods of time–usually only a few seconds–that must be rehearsed to be recalled. Long-term memories have been fully encoded and remain part of memory even when they are not contemplated for long periods of time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Preconscious: This refers to something that one is not currently aware of but could be brought into consciousness at any given moment. For example, someone may forget to grab cheese during a grocery trip until they see a sign that advertises a half-off cheese sale.

Detailed explanation-4: -The preconscious refers to the thoughts you aren’t actively thinking of but can call to mind easily given the right trigger. In contrast, unconscious thoughts are repressed to the point that you can’t remember them without extreme effort and specialized help.
