Inattentional blindness

Color Blindness is defined as the inability or decreased ability to see color, or perceive color differences, under normal lighting conditions. Color blindness is also referred to as color vision deficiency. In the United States alone there are about three million cases noted per year for color blindness. This disorder seems to affect men more than it does women. It is estimated that around eight percent of males and a little less than one percent of females are diagnosed in the United…

She focusses on the negatives forces which affects both her and Bigger while, ignoring the different factors which cause these misfortunes. Also, ignoring the difference between Bigger and herself. This is evident when Peggy tries to formulate with Bigger by bringing up two things which arise from different sources.

have a fifty-fifty chance of being colorblind. I am colorblind; my brother Noah is, for lack of a better word, normal. My mother’s father, Ernie, had the same type of colorblindness that I do. In all honesty, I am sick and tired of hearing the word blindness. In reality, I only see things differently. It is just that all of you who are not color affected are in the majority and I…

Theories of Color Vision The visual abilities of human beings are incredibly fascinating. We can view a large range of color from a small choice of wavelengths along the electromagnetic spectrum, 400nm-700nm. Our understanding of this perception of color comes from two major theories Tri-chromatic theory of color vision and opponent-process theory. Both theories have their merits and one actually grew out of the other. The first theory proposed was the tri-chromatic theory. The tri-chromatic…

skin color or background’. After learning about color blindness, and realizing that I was apart of it, I now know that this is the wrong way to view humans. Color blindness may seem like a good idea, and the intention might be of good intent; it does more than ‘blind’ you from color.

Priming is an alteration in the identification or production of an item due to prior exposure (Tulving & Schacter, 1990). There are many different types of priming. This essay examines selective priming and a subtype of selective priming; expectation based priming. Priming of stimuli, can explain how inattentional blindness…

mobile devices are so attention-consuming. One of the many topics brought up, and a significant contributor to Reggie’s accident, is inattentional blindness, where the distracted brain does not process all incoming information. This book was published nearly a decade ago. Now, the evidence is ever more incriminating. Current research shows that inattentional blindness may be the most lethal part…

In the process of identifying common malpractices and refuting them, Chabris and Simmons present solid evidence for the thesis developed on inattentional blindness and other perception issues. Progressing through the book, the two authors present various example of real life illusions, as well as, the scenarios found in reality. One prevalent problem through all of these examples was the inability of…

week’s reading discuss the change blindness theory and its practical implications. Simons and Ambinder (2005) suggests that the research on change blindness reveals the limits of human cognitive ability, which highlights the surprisingly ignorant nature of human attention. Jensen and his colleague agree with that notion (2011), also adding the comparison of change blindness and inattentional blindness into the topic. While it is impeccable to view change blindness as a flaw in our cognitive…
