Is lowered especially of external stimuli
Daydreaming
Description :
: when we shift our attention (naturally) to our private thoughts feelings and imagined scenarios
Daydreaming
Content limitation :
Less limitation, more bizarre, unusual thoughts

Alcohol - induced state
Content limitations

Alcohol - induced state
Controlled processes
Difficulty performing tasks, reaction time is slowed, performing more complex tasks becomes difficult
Alcohol - induced state
Perceptual and cognitive distortions
Perceptions can be distorted and it can be difficult to concentrate and understand cognitive tasks, memory can be impaired
Alcohol - induced state
Emotional awareness
False sense of confidence can occur, emotions can be heightened or dulled
Alcohol - induced state
