A special case of information-selection by the human cognitive system. The brain seems to select the information worth to process, or most relevant, at every instant, in almost every context. This might produce some very specific phenomena such as what psychologists call “Change Blindness”. ————————— Such kind of experiments try to show the limits of our capacity to encode, retain, and compare visual information from one glance to the next. This suggests, among other issues, that our awareness of our visual surroundings is far more sparse than most people intuitively believe.

    Well I’m sure these people are from a wide array of subjects tested… but yes, this is a valid phenomena… there’s actually a Derren Brown flick where he is replaced by people that look absolutely nothing like him….

    How many men noticed it and how many women noticed it. I feel like there was something involving sexuality that was a definite variable in this experiment.

    Derren Brown also did a similar thing. 1 person went up to a random stranger and asked for them to point out a location on a map. Then they’re interrupted by two people carrying a large painting, and the person with the map swaps with a painting carrier. At one point they switched a white man for a black man, and the person didn’t notice. It’s amazing how much our minds can ignore.

    By the way, the sentence “Some people are just pure idiotic” IS a pure truism… it’s like saying “some days are better than others” :-)

  22. Nonconceptualcontent says:
