The term subconscious is defined variously as an adjective or noun. In the strict psychological sense, the adjective is defined as "operating or existing outside of consciousness". The term also appears in Sigmund Freud's very early work, to denote the unconscious mind but was soon eliminated due its ambiguity. It may also be used to describe the preconscious, information contained in the mind, which although not presently in the conscious, maybe 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 despite remaining popular in common use.

The definition provided by the Concise Oxford Dictionary is a little less specific, defining it in similar terms to the unconscious mind: an area of the mind one cannot be entirely aware of, but that still exerts some influence on one's thinking and actions.
