초록

본 연구는 정보처리 관점에서 기억과 주의와의 비교를 통하여 의식의 개념과 기능적 특성을 탐색해 보고, 의식과 기억과 주의의 관계에 기반한 정보처리와 작업기억의 특성에 대한 대안적 관점을 제시하고자 하였다. 인간의 심적 활동을 설명하기 위해서는 어떤 개념들이 설명에 사용될 만큼 충분히 잘 이해되고 있는지에 대한 합의가 필요하기 때문에 공통적으로 이해되는 기초개념이 무엇인지를 알아내는 것은 중요하다. 기억과 주의와의 비교를 통해 정보처리 관점에서 의식은 주변 환경과 자극에 대한 그리고 이를 처리하는 정보처리과정에 대해 자각하고, 필요한 행동을 결정내리고 수많은 정보들을 통합하고 통제할 수 있는 작동시스템의 특성을 가진다. 의식은 정보의 부호화와 저장, 인출이란 특성을 가진 기억, 그리고 정보의 선택과 분할이란 특성을 가진 주의와 개념적으로 기능적으로 구분되는 심적 구성체 일 수 있다. 이러한 경우 작업기억은 다양한 구성요소로 이루어진 하나의 시스템이라기 보다는 의식과 기억과 주의가 함께 혹은 독립적으로 작동하는 정보처리의 작업장일 수 있다. 또한 의식과 기억과 주의란 심적구성체가 함께 혹은 독립적으로 작동하는 심적구조에서 정보처리는 의식적인 처리과정과 무의식적인 처리과정의 연속선상에서 위계 병렬적으로 일어날 수 있다.

Abstract

This study examines the concepts and functional characteristics of consciousness in comparison of memory and attention from the perspective of information processing. It also provides an understanding of the relationships between the three as hypothetical constructs. Consciousness is regarded as too ambiguous a concept to be understood and accepted as a mental construct without the inclusion of memory and attention in any conceptualization. We need one criterion to count satisfactorily as an explanation of consciousness in information processing. Consciousness would be a subjective awareness of momentary experience and also have the characteristic of an operating system performing control and consolidation in information processing. This could be called cognitive consciousness which refers to a subjective awareness and an executive control system, even though those are not equivalent concepts. Consciousness, memory and attention, three mental constructs could operate dependently or independently depending on the specific tasks conditioned in many information processing levels whose modules with three mental constructs could operate in hierarchy. In this premise, working memory could not be a unitary system, contrary to those of Baddeley and Hitch(1974) and Baddeley(1992, 2000), just being a mental workplace consisting of two components: the phonological loop, and the visual-spatial sketchpad without the episodic buffer and a central executive which are the characteristics of consciousness. In the continuum of information processing, the conscious processes and the unconscious processes seem not to be totally different and contrasting processes.
