The pop-out phenomenon illustrates that some stimuli almost inevitably trigger

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pop-out phenomenon refers to the ability of certain stimuli to capture our attention automatically and involuntarily, even if we are trying to ignore them. This suggests that selective attention is at work, as our attention is being drawn to a specific visual feature (such as color or shape) within the scene, regardless of whether we intend to focus on it or not. The other options (visual action track, parallel processing, and change blindness) do not accurately describe the pop-out phenomenon.
