AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Freud, bits of the unconscious mind leak out into conscious behaviors, and this prompts you to say something other than what you had intended. These memory lapses and errors happen when thoughts or desires you’ve either suppressed (consciously pushed away) or repressed (buried without thinking) resurface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some common Freudian slip examples include saying the wrong name (e.g., calling your current partner by your ex’s name or calling your teacher your mom), misquoting or misinterpreting a written or spoken word, and using the wrong word (e.g., when Ted Kennedy used the word “breast” instead of “best” in a speech).

Detailed explanation-3: -: something said by mistake that is motivated by and reveals some unconscious aspect of the mind. also : a similar revealing lapse (such as a memory lapse or an unintentional action)

Detailed explanation-4: -A Freudian slip, or sometimes known as a parapraxis, is a verbal or memory mistake (a “slip of the tongue") that is considered to be linked to the unconscious mind. These slips apparently reveal private thoughts and feelings that individuals hold.
