Inattention Blindness
Inattention blindness or perceptual blindness, is the mind’s limited ability to pay attention or concentrate. Unless the mind gives its attention to something it can’t process the data. If the mind doesn’t process what the senses take in, then quite literally, we will not see, hear, feel, taste nor smell it. This is why a motorist can honestly say after hitting and killing a pedestrian or bicyclist, “I did not see her!” When driving, we need to give our mind to driving.
