Selective Attention!
Last Update: Mar 21, 2023
Hi WAC.
This is brilliant. It's only a short 2-minute video but shows selective attention. You only see what you want to see. Take note of this in your content writing - so do your customers!

PS. No spoilers in comments, please. Be honest - did you get it right????

Interesting. I just watched this with someone else. I got the number of passes correct and missed the gorilla. She got the passes incorrect and noticed the gorilla.
I'm assuming that the two passes she missed were from seeing the gorilla and it pulling her attention off the passes, and that I missed the gorilla by focusing so much on the passes.
Appreciate the share, and an impressive test in demonstrating how focused some of us are as opposed to others, and how that focus can exclude external factors not relevant to the intent.

Thanks, Jason. I think you are correct. Getting both right is harder as your attention shifts from one to the other.

Heheh Jeff. All from my prison cell as well - I sneaked in a computer. Remember you're busting me out (see your blog).
Paul ;-)
I got it both right with the chocolate kisses. I saw the duck in the second one with multiple hands and another hand replacing the other cup with a green cup. I had no problems. I use my eyes because I am Deaf. My eyes 👀 caught it all. Thats a good one! I love it. Thanks, Paul, for sharing.

Hi Paul, interesting.
After White's seventh throw, the gorilla wandered off.
The point is to confuse them or should have confused us.
The ones in black are a disaster, they just seem out of place.
Great post, funny 👍🏼
I'm sorry for the late reply.
Best regards,

Sure Slavka. The people dressed in black were there to confuse us with the gorilla I guess. It caught me out!
Paul
No, how could they deceive you?
It probably wasn't a good morning ☕ and you missed it.
Many greetings to you,
Slavka 👋
Yeah, Slavka - I MiniMissed the gorilla ;-)
Many greetings and claim seas.

I think, I think, and I think again, I like your ... comment. 😘
That's good Slavka. I'm pleased you liked my comment. I don't want to be the Culprit on Duty with my bad comments. I don't being the Culprit on Duty concerning other things though if that makes sense?
Paul
It all makes sense, you're a good duty commenter 😊👍
