Question

What is the differences between subconscious, unconscious and preconcious? Explain it with examples.

Answer 1

Subconscious is that part of the mind which the person does not have the knowledge of but at the same time its affects the feeling, bheaviour and sometimes the attitude of the person as well. Usually this happens without the knowledge of the person itself and they have to dig dipper to gain understanding on the situation. For example if a person was bullied during his childhood it gets stored in his subconscious mind that he is inferior to other and that he must stay withdrawn. Now later on in life if he seems distant from others or starts judging people easily it is not his own doing but the content that he has stored up subconsciously.

Unconscious is that part of our mind which does all the work for our information and knowledge. In this section all are information is processed and automatic skills function. These processes occur naturally without the knowledge of the person but at the same time they are so important for the normal functioning of a person. For example a simple task of breathing which happens on its own. Also Things like dreams that occur on its own is part of the unconscious mind.

Preconscious is that part of our mind which is unconscious but to the extent that it can be recalled or brought back into consciousness. It is right below the level where memories or other incidents can be easily remebered. For example the times when we are asked a question and we know the answer but are unable to answer it at that given moment, we refer to this as the tip of the tongue phenomenon. This is a part of the preconscious mind.
