How about "subconscious"? It's interesting to see how some statements are based on wrong translations and misunderstanding.

- runarberg 4y agoCan you elaborate, I always assumed subconscious to mean something like blindsight, that is blind individuals that have functioning eyes (i.e. their blindness is caused by brain damage in the visual processing organs), are able to evade an object being thrown at them despite never being able to consciously see it. That is the stimuli of an approaching object is indeed subconscious. However maybe that is an outdated term, and a better one exists. It has been a minute since I read up on the literature.
- stewbrew 4y agoThere is a more or less fine line between unconscious and subconscious (its slightly hysterical cousin). The term might be somewhat outdated but it's still in use and also cognitive scientists make respective assertions - even though they might call it differently when talking about human consciousness.
