Final answer:

Stimuli missed because of attentional blink do not achieve conscious awareness as the attentional resources are temporarily decreased following the processing of a previous stimulus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stimuli that are missed due to attentional blink do not enter conscious awareness. Attentional blink is a phenomenon that occurs when the second of two stimuli cannot be detected or reported when presented within 200-500 milliseconds after the first.

During attentional blink, active attention is dedicated to processing the first item, causing a temporary decrease in attentional resources available for the second item, which as a result does not achieve conscious recognition even though it may be sensed on a neural level.
