Medical - Psychology / Puerto Rican psychiatric report
Spanish term or phrase: fondo de conocimiento
I think that this term means "depth of knowledge" but am not sure as conocimiento can mean "awareness" and "consciousness" as well. Thanks.

La atención, no la pudo mantener todo el tiempo. En concentración, no pudo restar en senes de 7: 46-7, 28-7. *Fondo de conocimiento* general, regular. Capacidad de abstracción, pudo, parcialmente, interpretar: "dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres". Está bien orientada en persona y lugar. Parcialmente, en tiempo. Dijo el mes del año. El juicio es lento en las reacciones ante situaciones del diario vivir. La instrospección psicológica es pobre.

general basic awareness: average...

I think this is the sense of conocimiento in this context. It is expanded in what follows: self awareness, alertness (?), ability to situate himself in place and (partially) in time, etc.
