Answer:
Illusory conjunctions
Explanation:
Madelyn is walking in a mall and thinks she sees a man wearing a red dress. She takes a longer look, and realizes she has seen a man in a suit walking next to a woman in a red dress. This is a natural example of <u>illusory conjunctions</u>. Illusory conjunctions such as visual or auditory illusory conjunction is a phenomenon that occurs when individuals combine features of two objects into one. This usually results due to diverted or overloaded attention.
Madelyn combines a man wearing suit walking next to a woman wearing red and misrepresents it as a man wearing red.
