The four HS described the following; being dead, being unconscious, all best levels of items in the PBSI, all worst levels of items.
In their variant on PDP, they were able to decompose stem-completion performance into three components: voluntary conscious memory -- essentially explicit memory; involuntary conscious memory, in which the cue automatically brought a word to mind which was subsequently recognized as a list item; and involuntary unconscious memory, essentially implicit memory.
Our subconscious and unconscious act as a warehouse to collect items that we have created, promoted or allowed but never completed.
Hence, unconscious relational encoding, but not unconscious single item encoding, depended on hippocampus.
None of these scores (Verbal Paired Associates subtest of the WMS-R, WAIS verbal IQ, Boston Naming Test, unconscious relational encoding/retrieval) correlated with unconscious single item encoding/retrieval [controls and patients (n = 22): all r ≤ 0.296, all P ≥ 0.181; patients (n = 11): all r ≤ 0.391, all P ≥ 0.234].
Large items hitting you can knock you unconscious or kill you.
The current results in amnesic patients extend the relational/single item dissociation to the realm of unconscious encoding and retrieval processes.
If the item remains obstructed, the child may become unconscious.
Nevertheless, hippocampal patients have preserved unconscious memory abilities, such as skill acquisition, priming for single items, and conditioning.
There are arguments to support the hypothesis that unconscious thought is not passive but active, and is more creative (producing more original items), associative and divergent than conscious thought [35].
Items are summed to give a range of 12 to 48, where 48 indicates excessive use of unconscious defensiveness (i.e., repression and denial).
