Answer:    Inattentional blindness

Explanation:  Simply this phenomenon occurs due to the perceptual preoccupation with certain subjects, in this case white shirts, which is why they do not see certain phenomena, although they are within the field of view of the participants. That is why this blindness is also called perceptual blindness. In other words, participants' perceptions were influenced by being told to focus only on white shirts, and their perception was somehow "directed". Because of this, half of the participants did not see man wearing the black gorilla costume, if he was in some white costume, the participants would probably have seen him.

Five _________________ states between the North and South did not secede from the Union though they had slavery.
Tcecarenko [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to attach the options for this question we can say the following based on our knowledge of the topic.

Five slaveholding states between the North and South did not secede from the Union though they had slavery. Among these states were Kentucky, Delaware, Missouri, and Maryland, and in 1863, West Virginia.

Originally, seven southern states seceded from the Union and this represented the beginning of the American Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln won the elections and became President of the United States. The Southern states knew that this would be its worst nightmare. They did not support abolition because their economies depended too much on slavery. The states that seceded were South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, and Texas. They formed the Confederate States and the War began.
