Define psychological consciousness

Consciousness is generally defined in psychology as our awareness of internal and external stimuli, which includes our sensations, perceptions, thoughts, and a sense of self.

Evaluate the given options

• Perceptions (A), a sense of self (B), and sensations (C) are all subjective, experiential states that we are actively aware of, meaning they are included in the definition of consciousness.
• Biological processes (D), such as cellular respiration, digestion, or hormone regulation, occur automatically and nonconsciously without our direct awareness or subjective experience.

Determine the exception

Since biological processes occur outside of our conscious awareness, they are excluded from the psychological definition of consciousness.
