Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sequential processing refers to the process of organizing and attending to stimuli in a step-by-step manner, such as reading a poster and comprehending its contents. This contrasts with parallel processing, which involves processing multiple stimuli simultaneously. Consciousness refers to the state of being aware of and able to perceive one's thoughts and surroundings, while blindsight is a condition in which a person with damage to their visual cortex is still able to respond to visual stimuli without consciously perceiving them.
