Answer to Problem 1TYS

Correct answer: Failure to see visible objects as our attention is occupied elsewhere is called inattentional blindness.

Explanation of Solution

The inattentional blindness is the perceptual blindness that occurs due to the lack of psychological attention. Inattentional blindness is mainly explained as the situation in which an individual fails to distinguish the surprising stimulus of plain sight. A temporary visual blindness occurs when it becomes impossible for the individual to attend to the entire unconscious stimulus.
