PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Preconscious ideas are not in your awareness, but you could recall them by directing your inner awareness. Two examples are if someone were to ask you what shoes you were wearing yesterday you would be able to tell them. another example would be if you were asked what you ate for lunch, you would be able to recall it.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In Chapter 2 of his book, The Ego and the ID, Freud explains that the real difference between an unconscious idea and a preconscious idea is that unconscious ideas are based on unknown material, whereas preconscious ideas are usually brought into consciousness via connections with word-presentations.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
