Answer 1

Answer:choice blindness /blind choice

Explanation:

The concept of choice blindness refers to how we are sometimes not aware of our choices and preferences but still believe we are aware of them.

This is known as introspection illusion which refers to how our own internally examined beliefs and thoughts can all be just lies without us being aware of that. We always believe we understand our emotions and thoughts even when we actual truly don't

Sometimes in cases where we don't even know what our choice and preference are but still we won't be aware of that , there is a chance of defending the wrong choice because we are convinced that it is the one we made.

Like in this case where the same picture that was initially rejected is presented again and the same people who rejected it can't see that it that one that they rejected so they defending it thinking it is their initial choice. This is a proof of blind choice , how we sometimes don't know our own preferences but still think we do.
