Cogn Psyc wk 2
Watch the short video about the invisible gorilla. The researchers found it very interesting that a large number of people fail to see the gorilla.
They believe that this is due to selective attention. After watching the video, answer how close you were to the number of passes the white shirt team actually made.
Can you even guess how many the black shirt made? Now put this into real life. Write a 500 page paper over selective attention by first defining it according to the literature and then continue with your thoughts on the video you reviewed and finally discuss a time in your own life when you “missed” something that was right in front of you.
Describe how the concept of selective attention may have been the reason for this. Conclude with how we can be more attentive and not miss quite so much.
