Videos about awareness

Did you see the gorilla or not? What about the other clips? Talk a little bit about you experience this morning.

The first time I see the video, I was only concerned about the number of passes that the people do. I never see a gorilla passing of one side to other side. It’s very clear when you are looking for something to happened, when you are worry about one specific thing the other became “seconds in the line”.

The other clips, for me, are different. For example the one with the flashlights, for me it was difficult to see it because I was searching the details. If you see it in a extend way you may find more easily what your looking. After I saw the first one of those with the flashlights, with the second was easy because I knew what I was looking for.

With the clips in which the things disappear very slowly, for me it was the one of the most hard to find which thing disappears. I was thinking about the details, so the first time I couldn’t see it. In the videos of this group, when I looked them the first time, I couldn’t see what I was looking for.

The last one was also difficult but more easy that the previous one. When you focus on what’s changing it’s more hard that if you just look at the hole picture.

  1. Hi Paula,

    It sounds like the videos worked the way they are supposed to when you saw them. I think it's interesting that what we take to be our perception of things can be influenced or wrong, and yet we are so used to thinking that we know exactly what we saw or perceived.
