Freud's 3 levels of awareness

Freud described the conscious part of the mind as the tip of the iceberg. It contains all the material a person is aware of at any one time, including perceptions, memories, thoughts, fantasies, and feelings.
Term
describe freud's preconsious mind awareness
Definition
Just below the surface of awareness is the preconscious, which contains material that can be retrieved rather easily through conscious effort.
Term
describe freud's unconsious mind awareness
Definition

Term
Freud's 3 levels of personality
Definition
id, ego, superego
Term
what is freud's id
Definition
The id is the source of all drives, instincts, reflexes, needs, genetic inheritance, and capacity to respond, as well as all the wishes that motivate us.
Term
what is freud's ego
Definition
The ego, which emerges in the fourth or fifth month of life, is the problem solver and reality tester. It is able to differentiate subjective experiences, memory images, and objective reality and attempts to negotiate a solution with the outside world. The ego follows the reality principle, which says to the id, “You have to delay gratification for right now,” and then sets a course of action.
Term
what is freud's superego
Definition
The superego, the last portion of the personality to develop, represents the moral component of personality. The superego consists of the conscience (all the “should nots” internalized from parents) and the ego ideal (all the “shoulds” internalized from parents). The superego represents the ideal rather than the real; it seeks perfection, as opposed to seeking pleasure or engaging reason.
Term
what are defense mechanisms,
Definition
ego develops defenses, or defense mechanisms, to ward off anxiety by preventing conscious awareness of threatening feelings.
Term
Defense mechanisms share two common features:
Definition
(1) they all (except suppression) operate on an unconscious level, and we are not aware of their operation; and (2) they deny, falsify, or distort reality to make it less threatening.

Term
Psychodynamic therapy
Definition
Psychodynamic therapy follows the psychoanalytic model by using many of the tools of psychoanalysis, such as free association, dream analysis, transference, and countertransference. However, the therapist has increased involvement and interacts with the patient more freely than in traditional psychoanalysis.

Term
John B. Watson's behaviorism theory -
Definition
personality traits and responses—adaptive and maladaptive—are socially learned through classical conditioning
Term
B. F. Skinner's operant conditioning theory -
Definition
voluntary behaviors are learned through consequences, and behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement, which causes a behavior to occur more frequently. A consequence can be a positive reinforcement, such as receiving a reward (getting a 3.8 GPA after studying hard all semester), or a negative reinforcement, such as the removal of an objectionable or aversive stimulus (walking freely through a park once the vicious dog is picked up by the dogcatcher).
