PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The Nonconscious Level Many of our basic biological functions exist on a nonconscious level.

Detailed explanation-2: -Non-conscious level: The body’s automatic biological processes, like breathing and heartbeat, which are controlled by the brain but are generally outside of one’s active awareness.

Detailed explanation-3: -Consciousness is associated with a flexible response mechanism (FRM) for decision-making, planning, and generally responding in nonautomatic ways. The FRM generates responses by manipulating information and, to function effectively, its data input must be restricted to task-relevant information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ultimately, four different gradable aspects of consciousness will be described: quality, abstractness, complexity and usefulness, which belong to four different dimensions, these being understood, respectively, as phenomenal, semantic, physiological, and functional.
