Answer: change blindness

Explanation: Change blindness is a visual sensing phenomenon that occurs when a change in a visual stimulus is introduced and the observer does not notice it. For instance at times observers may often fail to notice some differences or changes introduced into an image when there is a small break in observing the image

Answer:

a) change blindness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Change blindness is used to describe visual changes around us that are unnoticed because the brain processes alot of data at a go and some information which are not focused on are lost. As a result of change blindness Aaron failed to notice that he was now speaking with a different desk agent after he momentarily turned around to pick up his suitcase.
