Is Inattentional Blindness So Different Between The Two Tasks?

because their attention is elsewhere is called inattentional blindness2. This phenomenon occurs often when people are dividing their attention between two tasks and I believe that this could be the cause of why my friend ran into the park bench. I hypothesized that inattentional blindness caused my friend to run into a bench while on the phone, because when the incident occurred his attention was divided

have been experiencing inattentional blindness. Inattentional blindness is the inability to notice something when it is in clear view, usually due to the failure to be attentive to the object or the object’s location (Goldstein, 2011, p.95). Current laws allow people to use their cellular devices while operating a motor

direct the processing of stimuli, whether it is physical, visual, auditory or retrieved from stored memory. Perception is the ability to make sense of our surroundings, whereas attention is the ability to concentrate on any perceived stimuli. A link between perception and attention comes from an individual’s ability to choose which stimuli to allocate their attention towards. This ability is important due to the vast amount of information in which humans are presented with on a daily basis. By using

This shows that once diagnosed with this patients have already been known to not do this task well, and this is where the question of if they are damaged from the start and if it worsens as the disease progresses. They looked at patients who had been hospitalized for the

participants were shown different video of two cars hitting each other. Humans are generally bad at guessing the speed of moving objects, so the design of this study helped to eliminate any advantage had by a participant in guessing. After the video was shown, amongst other distractor questions, 45 college students were asked the following critical question: “About how fast were the cars going when they (smashed

psychologists have focused their efforts in understanding access consciousness, or how information carried in conscious mental states is available to different cognitive processes. This is linked to attention and working memory. However, consciousness is difficult to quantify and hence most pieces of research study consciousness by contrasting the characteristics between conscious and unconscious processes. Although with some limitations, research has provided
