Inattentional blindness is a phenomenon which occurs as a failure of an individual to take notice of an object or event that is very obvious due to the fact that such objects or event were not expected, rather attention was fully focused elsewhere on another object, task or event. This type of blindness occurs simply as a result of lack of attention of an individual on events, objects or tasks that are not expected, while attention is focused on expected stimuli. It is not as a result of defect in vision. One tends to miss an obvious and clear event, object or task, unless one focused one’s attention on such object.
