MIH said:I study cognitive psychology so I've seen this done many different ways in experiments on inattentional blindness. The most interesting one, I have seen is this:

Sorry MIH but not all men prefer blondes ;-p , or even large hood ornaments for that matter. Unfortunately that brunette looks to be about 15. :-/

Or maybe have all males that one by one drop off screen and are replaced by similarly dressed females.Math Is Hard said:This experiment has been done over and over and over and over..
sometimes it's a person in a gorilla suit. sometimes it's a person with an umbrella. The "count the basketball passes" experimental paradigm is pretty standard.
Would be kind of interesting to try it with a sexy girl/guy walking through the scene and see if it makes any difference.

I know.MIH said:and I could care less about brunettes or blondes. It was a joke.

The OP is really old in some sense: isn't this a really old concept (the basketballs and gorilla)?

BobG said:Looking at the report mattmns linked to, it looks like a person would see a woman with an umbrella easier than a gorilla. And it's easier to see the gorilla if you're counting passes of the black team. That seems counter-intuitive. You'd think the more bizarre the interruption, the more noticeable it would be. Instead, the easier it is to discard the interruption as irrelevant to your task, the less noticeable the interruption is. It looks like it works as an attention filter.
So why do drivers have such a hard time seeing motorcycles and bicycles? Because they've mentally conditioned themselves to look for cars. Motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians are filtered out of drivers' attention.
