Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dual processing refers to the idea that our brains process information both consciously and unconsciously at the same time. This is evident in the example given of recognizing the color of an object while also monitoring its shape and movement. Popout refers to the phenomenon of a single target "popping out" against a background of distractors, such as finding a red apple in a basket of green apples. Change blindness refers to the difficulty in detecting changes in a visual scene, even when those changes are large and obvious. Blindsight is a condition in which a person is unable to consciously perceive visual information in certain parts of their visual field, despite their eyes functioning normally.
