Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dual processing refers to the idea that we have both conscious and unconscious processes happening simultaneously. In this case, recognizing and naming the color of an object requires conscious processing, while monitoring the object's shape and movement happens unconsciously. Inattentional blindness and change blindness refer to failures to consciously perceive stimuli, and blindsight refers to the ability to unconsciously process visual information despite damage to the visual cortex.
