Inattentional Blindness and Individual Differences in Cognitive Abilities
People sometimes fail to notice salient unexpected objects when their attention is otherwise occupied, a phenomenon known as inattentional blindness. To explore individual differences in inattentional blindness, we employed both static and dynamic tasks that either presented the unexpected object away from the focus of attention (spatial) or near the focus of attention (central). We hypothesize...
متن کاملIndividual differences in susceptibility to inattentional blindness.
Inattentional blindness refers to the finding that people do not always see what appears in their gaze. Though inattentional blindness affects large percentages of people, it is unclear if there are individual differences in susceptibility. The present study addressed whether individual differences in attentional control, as reflected by variability in working memory capacity, modulate suscepti...
متن کاملWhat's "inattentional" about inattentional blindness?
In a recent commentary, Memmert critiqued claims that attentional misdirection is directly analogous to inattentional blindness (IB) and cautioned against assuming too close a similarity between the two phenomena. One important difference highlighted in his analysis is that most lab-based inductions of IB rely on the taxing of attention through a demanding primary task, whereas attentional misd...

sparked my interested in this research and who have remained a constant source of information throughout the study. I also wish to thank Shelly Bland for her hard work and assistance in gathering and entering the data for this study. I would like to thank the Attention and Working Memory Lab at Georgia Tech for the use of their cognitive tasks and for their assistance in contacting participants...
متن کاملThe effects of individual differences and task difficulty on inattentional blindness.
Most studies of inattentional blindness-the failure to notice an unexpected object when attention is focused elsewhere-have focused on one critical trial. For that trial, noticing the unexpected object might be a result of random variability, so that any given individual would be equally likely to notice the unexpected object. On the other hand, individual differences in the ability to perform ...
