TOPOGRAPHICAL MODEL

-Topographic theory was first described by Freud in "The Interpretation of Dreams"

(1900)
-These systems are not anatomical structures of the brain, rather mental processes.
-The Topographic theory remains as one of the meta-psychological points of view
for describing how the mind functions.

•Conscious
-It is best defined those things that we are able to see or also called as "mind's eyes".
It is very small part of who we are .
-It is having an awareness of something, being able to call it to mind, it would seem
simple enough to qualify only those events we can recall as the activities of the
human mind
-This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about
rationally.
-conscious mind serves as a scanner for us. It will perceive an event, trigger a need
to react, and then depending on the importance of the event, store it either in the
unconscious or the subconscious area of the human mind where it remains available
to us.
•Subconscious
-It is the storage point for any recent memories needed for quick recall.
-It is those things that we are aware but we are not paying attention.
-It serves as the minds random access memory (RAM). “Thus the unconscious mind
can be seen as the source of dreams and automatic thoughts (those that appear without
any apparent cause), the repository of forgotten memories (that may still be accessible
to consciousness at some later time), and the locus of implicit knowledge (the things
that we have learned so well that we do them without thinking).”
-This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about
rationally.
•Unconscious
-Largest part of the mind and most influence us .
-The unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that
outside of our conscious awareness.
-Most of the contents of the unconscious are unacceptable or unpleasant, such as
feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict.
-According to Freud, the unconscious continues to influence our behavior and
experience, even though we are unaware of these underlying influences.
