Inattentional Blindness
“Your eyes point at the scene. Your task points somewhere else.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
A visible, unexpected object can go unnoticed when attention is occupied by a demanding task. Detection depends on expectations, attentional load, and similarity to the target.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
While counting one team's passes, you may fail to report a striking figure crossing the center of the video.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
It does not mean the object was invisible or that every person will miss it in the same situation.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
When detection is critical, do not rely on one busy observer; design dedicated alerts and checks.
