A Way of Integration: The Relationship between Conscious and Unconscious Processes
2020Co-Authors: Shen Tu, Guang ZhaoAbstract:National Institute of Health (NIH) of US will mainly sponsor nine research areas about brain, one of which is to integrate theory, modeling, statistics, and computation with experimentation. In this review, we speculate that the relationship between conscious and Unconscious Processes might be a candidate way of integration. As to relationship between conscious and Unconscious Processes, there are four aspects: 1) the interactive influences within/among conscious Processes, which mainly reflect the role of attention on consciousness; 2) the Unconscious modulation on conscious Processes, which is studied mostly in Unconscious priming paradigm; 3) the conscious modulation on Unconscious Processes; 4) the interactive influence within/among Unconscious Processes, which is seldom investigated by now. Based on recent findings, we mainly focus on the last two points, especially the possibility of interactions between Unconscious Processes and its theory implications (reinterpretation of mechanism of creativity, modification of global neural workspace theory, integration of different consciousness theories, new interpretation of resting state, sleeping and cognitive resources). In addition, recent studies showed that top-down category selective attention (i.e. consciousness) modulated Unconscious Processes in a continuous manner because of continuous-changed degree of contour alternation. At last, we first posited that interactions within/among Unconscious Processes could serve as a bridge between conscious and Unconscious modulations on each other. From the viewpoint of conscious/Unconscious Process, the last three points might form a complete set of cognitive mechanism in brain research and serve as a candidate way of integration.

Conscious and Unconscious Processes in Hypermnesia
Dynamic Cognitive Processes, 2020Co-Authors: Hajime Otani, Koichi Kato, Robert L. WidnerAbstract:Memory performance changes as a function of repeated testing even when we are not re-exposed to the to-be-remembered material between tests. Our research has focused on whether recovery of previously unretrieved items on a subsequent test—referred to as reminiscence—is based on conscious or Unconscious Processes. There is ample evidence indicating that reminiscence requires active searches of memory (i.e., conscious Process). However, subjective experiences suggest that previously unretrieved items sometime pop into mind without an active search of memory (i.e., Unconscious Process). In line with this hypothesis, studies have shown that (1) tip-of-the-tongue experiences are often resolved when the sought-after information pops into mind; (2) participants often have no knowledge of items prior to recovering these items; and (3) unlike recall, older adults show similar levels of reminiscence as do young adults. However, when one compares data from explicit and implicit memory tests, the explicit test produces greater amounts of reminiscence than the implicit test, even though reminiscence is also present in the implicit memory test. Based on these results, we suggest that there are two types of reminiscence, voluntary and involuntary; the former requires conscious retrieval whereas the latter does not. The existence of these two types of reminiscence suggests that when retrieval attempts for sought-after information are repeated, memory performance is determined by the dynamic interplay between conscious and Unconscious Processes.

the relationship between Unconscious defensive Process and conscious cognitive style in psychopaths
Criminal Justice and Behavior, 1997Co-Authors: Jacqueline B HelfgottAbstract:The relationship between Unconscious defensive Process and conscious cognitive style in psychopaths was empirically investigated using cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic measures. In the study, 39 prison inmates diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder and 18 college students were classified as primary psychopaths, secondary psychopaths, or nonpsychopaths by means of the Psychopathy Checklist—Revised. Unconscious Process was elicited through presentation of a film segment of a violent rape scene and measured using a defense checklist based on Kernberg's model of borderline personality organization. Cognitive style was measured using a cognitive checklist based on Yochelson and Samenow's criminal personality model. Checklist scores were compared across the three groups. The results suggest that Unconscious defensive Process can be inferred from conscious cognitive style in primary psychopaths. Implications of the findings for understanding and assessing psychopathy are discussed.
