Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emotion-induced blindness is the phenomenon where one's attention is diverted by an emotional event or stimulus, causing them to miss other important stimuli or events in their surroundings, such as missing an exit while driving due to being distracted by an accident site. Color blindness refers to an inability to distinguish between particular colors, subliminal perception refers to the processing of information below the level of conscious awareness, and correct rejection refers to correctly identifying the absence of a stimulus.
