There is a theory (Wilson et al) that the adaptive unconscious does much of the moment-to-moment work of perception and behaviour.
When people are asked to report on their mental processes, they cannot access this unconscious activity. However, rather than acknowledge their lack of insight, they confabulate (make up) a plausible explanation, and appear to be, unaware of their unawareness.
