Final answer:

Change blindness is more likely in situations where events are unexpected to happen in a very small area of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Change blindness is more likely in situations where events are unexpected to happen in a very small area of interest. Inattentional blindness, which is a type of change blindness, occurs when we fail to notice something that is completely visible because we are focused on something else. An example of this is the study where participants were asked to count the number of times a ball was passed between players and failed to notice a person dressed in a gorilla costume walking through the scene.
