For an elderly person and the height ...

For an elderly person and height 2metra can already be perceived as dangerous, as, for example, the assembler can be high-altitude and height 20metrov may not seem very dangerous. This simple example shows - the emotion is caused not only received information in mind, but some information is already available in the database of our consciousness. This information includes not only data about the external world, but also data about the state of our body, that's bad for us, that it is dangerous and what is good. R. Lazarus writes: "Both types of information - the conditions of the environment and purpose of the subject - are integrated into the evaluation, which is both the cognitive basis of emotions." (R. Lazarus. "Estimate: briefly and in detail." Lit. № 1) That there was an emotion, a person must realize the harmfulness or usefulness of the situation of the external environment. But that means - to realize? What is the "awareness"? Take a closer look at the following example. Imagine a day off. We woke up - Saturday sunny morning. Ahead of the output - you can not think about nothing, to put aside all worries and problems. How nice to at least occasionally about nothing thinking. Hurry-rested for a few minutes in bed, decided to raise. Throws a blanket, find the slippers under the bed, put on and leave the kitchen. We get out of the freezer bag appelsinovogo juice, pour into a glass and drink. Consciousness is not loaded, or not scored any thoughts or problems - a clean sheet. How pleasant it is sometimes none at all to think about nothing! Now let's analyze all our actions again. We woke up, opened her eyes - saw the same room, same picture on the same wall in the same place, same vase at the same table. We did not think about anything. But if we saw instead of a picture hanging on the wall of the vase, and instead of the vase on the table, such as shoes, we would be extremely surprised. Hence our mind works - it recognizes, analyzes the real situation. We decided to get up, threw his blanket habit - but what does "accustomed to discard the blanket? It means - it should not just be cast away as not on the floor, but "normal." Consciousness controls and it is our action. We found the slippers under the bed and dressed - always left his left leg, right at right, stood up and approached the room door. Habitually took the handle, slightly pressed down, pushed the door, made a couple of steps out of the room, shut the door, and went into the kitchen, went to the refrigerator, opened, took a box of juice, turned down corner of the package, took a knife, cut the corner and found a glass eye have taken, poured the juice drink. Reject the "normal" blanket, slippers found under a bed, walk over to the door, open it, "easily by pressing on the handle, take the bag from the refrigerator, cut off his angle, etc. - To teach a machine to all these actions, it is necessary to lay in her computer complex program. Making all these actions, we at this time about anything we do not think we make them "mechanically". But who thinks of us? Only to cut off corner of the package, you must have a large amount of information and use it: you need to know what a knife, how to use it, which side is cut, any movement in this commit - not rotary, not pressure, but reciprocates with simultaneous gentle pressure.
