WHAT DOES PRECONSCIOUSNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Preconscious

In Freudian psychoanalysis, the word preconscious is applied to thoughts which are unconscious at the particular moment in question, but which are not repressed and are therefore available for recall and easily 'capable of becoming conscious' — a phrase attributed by Sigmund Freud to Joseph Breuer. Freud contrasted the preconscious to both the conscious and the unconscious in his so-called topographical system of the mind. Preconscious can also refer to information that is available for cognitive processing but that currently lies outside conscious awareness. One of the most common forms of preconscious processing is priming. Other common forms of preconscious processing are tip of the tongue phenomenon and blindsight.
