Found a neat experiment here…. Watch this video very carefully and count how many passes the people wearing white shirts make. It’s kind of a neat challenge.
Afterwards, leave a comment with your answers. (But no cheating! Watch the video first.)

I counted 15. I was not distracted by the person in the ape suit.
Drat, you noticed?
The point of this video, it turns out, was to demonstrate inattentional blindness. The first time I watched, I was so focusing on the people in white and tracking the ball that I was oblivious to the fact that a person in a gorilla suit had walked across the frame, beat its chest, and then walked out of the picture.
Not until I read about the gorilla and watched it for a second time did I even notice.
Yeah I noticed. Must be the teacher training. 🙂
