That Was No Gorilla, That Was My Inattentional Blindness

"A member of Simons' team approaches someone onrepparttar street and asks for directions," says El-Hai. "Asrepparttar 126244 subject begins to speak, a crew of faux workers carrying a door abruptly squeezes betweenrepparttar 126245 two. Asrepparttar 126246 door passes between them,repparttar 126247 person who asked for directions changes places with a third person." Again, 50% didn't notice they were giving directions to a different person.

Same thing happened when they had a waiter duck behindrepparttar 126248 counter and a new waiter popped up. The diner kept on talking.

"We have limited attentional resources," concluded Simons. What we notice depends on how much else we're attending to, and this was true even whenrepparttar 126249 subject claimed to have great visual memory.

"Practical applications of Simon's work would be airline and highway safety," says El Hai. Scary thought.

Another application - watch it withrepparttar 126250 cell inrepparttar 126251 car! We have limited attentional resources.
