Document Summary

Inattentional blindness: failure to perceive the appearance of an unexpected object in the visual environment. Moe complex processing is typically required to avoid change blindness than inattentional blindness. We are often wildly optimistic about our own observational powers. Change blindness blindness: individuals exaggerated belief that they can detect visual changes and so avoid change blindness. We generally think that we are processing the entire visual scene thoroughly and can detect visual changes. We are much better at detecting changes in objects we have previously looked at. Thus we underestimate the importance of fixating on objects if we are to remember them and detect how they have changed. People show greater change blindness blindness when they appear to detect object changes rapidly and effortlessly rather than slowly and effortful. Change blindness is stronger when people are led to believe they have previously been very successful in detecting changes.
