Consciousness is our level of awareness about ourselves and our environment. It is the awareness of internal and external simuli. Some that enter are the result of intenion. Easily shit our atenion to things of importance or interest. While atenion and consciousness are clearly closely related, they are not idenical, Conscious level: the informaion about yourself and your environment of which you are currently aware. Nonconscious level: body processes controlled by your mind that we are not usually aware of (blinking, breathing) Preconscious level: informaion about yourself or your environment that you are not currently thinking about, but you could be. Subconscious level: informaion that we are not consciously aware of but we know must exist due to behaviour.
