'don't notice' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with perception as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'you can see from above' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'can' could be 'loo' (slang) and 'loo' is found in the answer.
'see' could be 'v' (Latin 'vide', used to direct a reader to a source) and 'v' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'erk' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'that' acts as a link.
