Change Blindness: The Phenomenon Of Change Blindness

Decent Essays
The most interesting thing I’ve learned in this course was about change blindness. Change blindness is a situation where you do not notice a change between two scenarios. For example, you may not notice a change in hair length between two scenes during a movie. This makes me wonder exactly how many things from my past that I remember wrongfully. I believe I will remember this in five years, because of all the bad things that could happen due to change blindness. Not only was I fascinated that our perception could miss small changes in our surroundings, but I was also terrified. The phenomenon of change blindness captured my attention, because of all of the accidents that could be caused by something like this. For example, change blindness

    Mythbusting: ESP is a Well-Established Scientific Phenomenon Let’s say you’re at home, just relaxing on the couch. The day’s been great, but something feels off, you just can’t put your finger on it. Before you got home someone came into your house and moved all of your furniture over exactly one inch.

    This course was extremely intriguing and had me hooked from the first discussion forum. It required me to venture out of my comfort zone and ask questions that others viewed as odd, but I knew was going to assist me in my studies. I can recall one specific instance where I was on twenty-four-hour duty and I began asking a police officer doing his security checks questions. It had to be two in the morning and you can tell by the exhausted look on his face when he walked through the bitter cold into our dimly lit building entrance. He spoke with very little energy as he said good morning, but once I began asking him the list of questions that I just so happened to have typed on my laptop screen he immediately perked up and began to speak with life.…

    Change detection is a famous theory that was first presented by Dr. Ronald A. Rensink. One of the central problems change detection was set out to solve was a change blindness, the obliviousness to change in particular visual stimuli. Explicitly, an individual can be presented with identical photographs, but one has a minor difference. Change blindness is regarded as the cause if a participant doesn't manage to discern the change between the pictures.…

    Cognitive approach to change is a more intense approach than other change approaches. Cognitive change approach is highly focused on the process of the brain, how information was processed, how decisions were made and also thinking problem solving capacity of individuals. According to the Life Script health, with heart that the cognitive change approach is much more prospective than simple Behavior Change that simply tries to shape and mold you into a mindless performer of particular behaviors. Thus this behavioral modeling will never generate the kind of internal and mental alterations needed to create the changes you seek (John H. Sklare, 2005).…

    The most impactful intervention I chose to incorporate in my life is exercise, my commitment is I will either jog or do elliptical training three times a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We have discussed the physical and mental benefits of regular exercise in depth in Psychology 331 which is why I chose this intervention. In addition, I chose to use the Transtheoretical model of change (TTM) to implement my intervention, I made this decision because it seems to be most practical intervention that could have the most effective results for me as it is a fluid mythology that allows for error and regression. Additionally, there has been substantial evidence that supports the effectiveness of TTM as a motivational tool for this kind of…

    Inattentional Blindness

    • 295 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The article entitled “Gorillas in our midst: sustained inattentional blindness for dynamic events” discusses the theory of inattentional blindness. At its simplest level, inattentional blindness means that we do not always see what is in front of our eyes. Accordingly, experiments were set since the 1970’s to prove this hypothesis. Scientists agree on the fact that perception is the ability to consciously identify the things we see and the changes that occur around us, but according to the authors of the article, the theory that favors our ability to see every single thing is wrong, since we are only able to see or more precisely perceive the small amount of information processed by our brain from the input received through the sight, which…

    Few observers, noticed the man wearing a gorilla suit walking across the screen. Observers failed to notice the gorilla because; it is unlikely that this would occur in the real world (Cherry, 2014). It did not fall within their expectations/schema; therefore, observers did not pay attention to the gorilla. Thus, the observer was inattentionally blind to the gorilla (Cherry, 2014). Selective Priming of feature detectors explains why inattentional blindness occurs.…

    Both sources share information on topics including selective attention, inattentional blindness, and dual processing. Throughout the textbook we learn that our line of vision is actually quite narrow, only allowing us to concentrate our focus to a small section at a time. The rest of our peripheral vision is just a blur. Along with this idea, when focusing on specific tasks or items, we often become blind to other processes that are happening around us. This is known as inattentional blindness.…

    I have discovered that history is an active engagement of analytical techniques to generate questions and develop answers, and not about memorization of names, dates, and battles. There is no new information to be gained from that, and while it is important to know, does not contribute actively to the betterment of knowledge about our past. Learning that history is not just a body of material you observe, but a study you engage and do, has been a major change in my view of history that I have gained through this course. Before I began this class, I viewed history as a passive study. I thought all there was to a history courses was memorizing dates, names, battles, and events.…

    Selective Perception Essay

    • 1137 Words
    • 5 Pages

    McCallum addresses how individuals can successfully interact in complex environments when the perceptual resources for sensing the environment are limited. Individuals are often subject to two limitations in this case, where they are either provided with too much information, resulting in selective perception as their senses can only focus on specific features. Or in contrast the individual may have too little sensory data, due to a “hidden state” where one must revert to using short term memory to perceive the data they are interpreting. McCallum uses an example to explain the perceptual challenges of having either too much or too little sensory data. Imagine driving in city traffic, he explains, the driver is processing stimuli from the colour of the traffic light, pedestrians on the crosswalk, distance of the car ahead to the type of clouds in the sky.…

    Although, I would say that I am most interested in how every aspect of a situation causes the overall outcome. For instance, how you state something, the music you are listening to, previous experiences and your current emotion are just a few things that have an impact on the events of a situation. Additionally, I thought it was interesting learning about the controversies of what is consciousness. I feel strongly towards dualism. Throughout this course, my support towards dualism has been reinforced.…
