Question

Even though Mary was not thinking about the events surrounding the day when she graduated from high school, she can easily bring memories about that day to conscious awareness. In terms of Freud’s theory of personality, Mary’s memories are stored at the _____ level of awareness.

A) preconscious
B) unconscious
C) conscious
D) latent

Answer 1

A) preconscious

Step-by-step explanation:

The preconscious level of awareness is the layer of consciousness just below consciousness. The memories in this level are not suppressed and can be retrieved at any point in time.

Here, Mary can recall her memory of her graduation at any point in time. These memories are not repressed by her and can become conscious when she wants.

Hence, the statement is referring to preconscious.
