AWARENESS. This word is familiar
dipendengaran us, is not it? But we know what the
real meaning? Not
infrequently the author describes about consciousness, such as whether
consciousness. This is how. How important role. Well,
here I want to share a bit of knowledge about consciousness.
Well, my friends can guess what kind of meaning ?
Stuart Sutherland (British psychologist) provide an assessment of the
consciousness, ie consciousness is an amazing phenomenon but elusive; difficult
to specify what is consciousness, what consciousness, and why consciousness
evolved. William
James (1890-1950) depicts the mind as a stream of consciousness ( stream of
consciousness) continuous flow of sensations, images, thoughts, and feelings
are constantly changing. Our
mind is racing from one topic to the next topic : just as today we wake up from
sleep, go into the bathroom, getting ready to go to college, then walked toward
the campus , whom we met on the street, until finally we sit in class and
listen to our professors talk clearly
explain the material .
In everyday life we certainly do a lot of
activities. However,
the activity of many. Surely
there are some that we do outside of our awareness. Could you please specify what it is? A simple example is running . Do you
think running was a conscious activity? That road is a reflex movement. Which moves away without
us knowing. How many steps
we walked. That right or
kirikah the first step. What is the distance span every
step. We do not know right?
Well, we look at the function of consciousness
itself there are several, including by Baars & McGovern (1996 ) :
• Context-setting : working systems to define the
context and knowledge of a stimuli that come into memory. Role : clarify an
understanding of the relevant stimulus.
• Adaptation and learning : to successfully handle
new information
• Prioritization and access functions : to access
large amount of information available at the unconscious level.
• Recruitment & Control : consciousness enters
the motor system to perform conscious actions.
• Decision-making and executive : bringing
information and resources out of the unconscious to assist decision-making and
implementation of control.
• Detection & editing mistake : focusing on
the awareness that we are entering the system norm (which is in the unconscious
level) so ourselves "we" (the conscious) can know when we make
mistakes.
• Monitor-self (self - monitoring) : control
functions and are not aware of the self-conscious ; forms of self-reflection,
internal conversations, and imagery .
• Organizing & flexibility : it allows us to
rely on the automatic functions in predictable situations ; enters the
resources of specialized knowledge in unexpected situations .
