Awareness Test ... You Need to look at this.

[Tom R1200 GSA]

You need to click on the link and take this Awareness Test.   I believe this is some commercial in the UK.   Why do they have this clever stuff in the UK and all we have in the states ... is "I didn't see the motorcycle".

Very Nice indeed!

Why do they have this clever stuff in the UK and all we have in the states ... is "I didn't see the motorcycle".

I've seen this on a bicycle forum.  Its actually for a safety campaign involving bicyclists in the London area.

David ....

I believe you are correct.  But I felt it would be appropriate for our world as well.

I would like to know if how many of you had the right "count" and saw "everything".

This was a fun test.  I got the count right, but I did not see the moon walking bear until the second time.  It makes a good point.

[KarlMarsh]

I saw the bear right away.

Thats because I did not follow the directions and count the passes.

Sometimes its an advantage to not follow directions and think out of the box.

[Tom R1200 GSA]

 

Karl ... you cheat.

I was so concerned about the passes and in fact was thinking maybe we need to count the passes before that yelled "go".   I didn't see the it at all.

If you haven't taken the test ... follow the instructions.

Counted 13 passes easy enough - never saw the bear - dark color blended with the players in dark shirts and shorts - total miss. Great Clip!  ADD A CELL PHONE to the equation.   Quinn

The most famous of these tests was the Invisible Gorilla. 

"These confounding findings from cognitive psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris detailed in a 1999 study revealed how people can focus so hard on something that they become blind to the unexpected, even when staring right at it. When one develops 'inattentional blindness,' as this effect is called, it becomes easy to miss details when one is not looking out for them.

'Although people do still try to rationalize why they missed the gorilla, it's hard to explain such a failure of awareness without confronting the possibility that we are aware of far less of our world than we think,' Simons told LiveScience."

Same deal.  Count the number of times the White shirts pass the basketball.
