Final answer:

Unconscious processes can influence our perception and cognition, as exemplified by blind sight, perceptual illusions, proofreading errors, and false memories, all of which operate without conscious awareness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed by the student is concerned with phenomena that are due to unconscious processes. The correct answer to which of the following is due to unconscious processes is e) all of the above. This includes:

Blind sight - A condition where individuals can respond to visual stimuli without consciously experiencing it.
  • Perceptual illusions - Visual or other sensory misperceptions that occur without conscious direction.
  • Proofreading errors - Mistakes made during editing that one may not consciously notice.
  • False memories - Recollections of events that did not happen or that are distorted, without the individual being aware that the memory is false.

Each of these examples demonstrates how unconscious processes can influence our perception and cognition.
