Simons is best known for his work on change blindness and inattentional blindness, two surprising examples of how people can be unaware of information right in front of their eyes. His research interests also include visual cognition, perception , memory , attention , and awareness .
The laboratory study of change blindness began in the 1970s within the context of eye movement research. George McConkie conducted the first studies on change blindness involving changes in words and texts; in these studies, the changes were introduced while the observer performed a saccadic eye movement. Observers often failed to notice these ...
The Invisible Gorilla is a book published in 2010, co-authored by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons.This title of this book refers to an earlier research project by Chabris and Simons revealing that people who are focused on one thing can easily overlook something else.
The following criteria are required to classify an event as an inattentional blindness episode: 1) the observer must fail to notice a visual object or event, 2) the object or event must be fully visible, 3) observers must be able to readily identify the object if they are consciously perceiving it, [3] and 4) the event must be unexpected and the failure to see the object or event must be due ...
One inspiration for the IOED concept was research in change blindness suggesting at the time that people grossly overestimated their own spatial memory. [ 13 ] In the experiment they conducted with 16 Yale undergraduate students, they asked them to rate their understanding of devices and simple items.
Change blindness, the inability to detect some changes in busy scenes. Choice blindness, a result in a perception experiment by Petter Johansson and colleagues. Color blindness, a color vision deficiency. Cortical blindness, a loss of vision caused by damage to the visual area in the brain.
Social Security is projected to run out of funds in 2035 unless there is a change made to the fund's cost and revenue system.
The "door" study that I did with Daniel Levin is not an example of inattentional blindness -- it's change blindness. That's a different phenomenon. I didn't want to edit it personally given that I work in both fields. For details on the distinction, see the scholarpedia article I wrote on inattentional blindness that's cited in this entry.
