Answer:

Inattentional blindness.

Explanation:

Inattentional blindness occurs when we fail to notice something that is in our visual field because we are focussing our attention on something else. This is useful when we want to concentrate on a task, and to carry it out, we have to "ignore"  all the different stimuli that are around us and that do not help with the task.

The gorilla in the study was a stimulus that wasn't important for the task, so the participants didn't pay attention to it.

How does Major Kovaloff believe his nose came to be removed from his face?
katrin [286]
Major Kovaloff believes that witchcraft is what took his nose.

He knows a woman that wanted to marry her daughter to him, but he had often rejected. He thinks that to get her revenge, she "must have hired some witches to spirit it away," which is the only way he could think his nose could have possibly disappeared.
