The term '''subconscious''' is defined as existing or operating in the [[mind]] beneath or beyond [[conscious]] awareness. The word was coined by the psychologist [[Pierre Janet]], who credited it with a hidden level of awareness and [[automatism]]. In the strict psychological sense, the adjective is defined as "operating or existing outside of [[consciousness]]".[http://www.oxfordreference.com/views/ENTRY.html?subview=Main&entry=t87.e8078 A Dictionary of Psychology] Andrew M. Colman. Oxford University Press, 2006. Oxford Reference Online. Oxford University Press. King's College London. The term also appears in [[Sigmund Freud]]'s very early work, to denote the [[unconscious mind]] but was soon eliminated due to its ambiguity.[http://www.oxfordreference.com/views/ENTRY.html?subview=Main&entry=t87.e8078 ibid] It may also be used to describe the preconscious, information contained in the mind, which although not presently in the [[conscious]], may be recalled by "directing attention to them", such as memories not being recalled at present, but still available to be recalled at will. Use of the term "subconscious" is avoided in academic settings [http://www.oxfordreference.com/views/ENTRY.html?subview=Main&entry=t87.e8078 ibid] despite remaining popular in common use.[http://www.google.com/search?q=%22subconscious+mind%22 Google search on "subconscious mind"]
