Document Summary
Not just one transient (change): so looking away and coming back, it"s hard to notice a small change when there are so many transients. Flicker paradigm often used: introduces a large number of transients, not just the changing object, you show the same image on, off, on, off and basically you"re creating massive transients. It"s like a new scene every time even though it"s the exact same scene with one thing changed. Demo: flashed a picture, you have to notice what changes between the two pictures it"s hard to notice what"s changed because of all the transients, even though it"s the same picture. Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice an object that is fully visible. Demo: there"s a video where the teams pass a ball. You"re so focused on the ball being passed you miss the man in the gorilla suit walking by.
