Is there a name for that kinda phenomenon or is it just plain forgetfulness? Like, my key could be in front of me yet my brain somehow doesn't register until a good few minutes.

Im surprised i actually found a term. It's called mental scotoma. You more or less become blind to something cause you've convinced yourself it can't be there or convinced yourself its somewhere else
Had this happen recently with my wallet. Had my headphones in one hand and my wallet in the other with a face mask covering it and was heading to my room. The face mask covering my wallet made me not realize it was in my hand.
