Question 12 • S1S-OC: Health (EN5101)

What causes inattention blindness?

Answer
A
Drivers cannot see something that happens in front of them because it happens too quickly.
B
Drivers cannot see because they are too busy doing something else.
C
A person takes his or her eyes off the road while doing another task.
D
The brain cannot process what is seen because a person is too distracted by something else.

Explanation

Inattentional blindness happens when a person’s attention is focused elsewhere, so the brain fails to notice or process something that is actually visible. It is not necessarily because the person looked away or the event happened too quickly. Therefore, the correct choice is “The brain cannot process what is seen because a person is too distracted by something else.”
