While driving home, the car in front of you starts driving dangerously, so you concentrate on watching it. when you arrive home, you realize that you cannot remember anything from your drive home other than that car. your memory is most likely due to the fact that we do not remember informatio

we do not pay attention to

Explanation:

Our brain is receiving stimuli constantly such that it becomes difficult to keep track of all the stimuli. The brain has evolutionary developed in such a way that it increases our chance of survival.

When we focus on a certain object all the processing power is concentrated on the object. Almost all other stimuli is rejected.

Here, when the car in front starts driving dangerously we focus on the car and only on the car. The other things in our periphery are not paid attention hence we only remember the car after reaching home.
