Change Blindness
نویسنده
چکیده
Large changes that occur in clear view of an observer can become difficult to notice if made during an eye movement, blink, or other such disturbance. This change blindness is consistent with the proposal that focused visual attention is necessary to see change, with a change becoming difficult to notice whenever conditions prevent attention from being automatically drawn to it. It is shown here how the phenomenon of change blindness can provide new results on the nature of visual attention, including estimates of its capacity and the extent to which it can bind visual properties into coherent descriptions. It is also shown how the resultant characterization of attention can in turn provide new insights into the role that it plays in the perception of scenes and events.

Differences in change blindness to real-life scenes in adults with autism spectrum conditions
People often fail to detect large changes to visual scenes following a brief interruption, an effect known as 'change blindness'. People with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) have superior attention to detail and better discrimination of targets, and often notice small details that are missed by others. Together these predict people with autism should show enhanced perception of changes in simp...
متن کاملImplicit Binding of Facial Features During Change Blindness
Change blindness refers to the inability to detect visual changes if introduced together with an eye-movement, blink, flash of light, or with distracting stimuli. Evidence of implicit detection of changed visual features during change blindness has been reported in a number of studies using both behavioral and neurophysiological measurements. However, it is not known whether implicit detection ...

Previous reports suggest that introducing distracting visual transients during a change detection task can result in change blindness. In four experiments we find that presenting the distracting transients repeatedly prior to the change produces a recovery from change blindness. This recovery from change blindness is not due solely to low-level neural adaptation of transient detectors, but inst...
متن کاملChange blindness: past, present, and future.
Change blindness is the striking failure to see large changes that normally would be noticed easily. Over the past decade this phenomenon has greatly contributed to our understanding of attention, perception, and even consciousness. The surprising extent of change blindness explains its broad appeal, but its counterintuitive nature has also engendered confusions about the kinds of inferences th...
متن کاملBehavioral and Electrophysiological Correlates of Change Blindness (invited Paper)
Although the ability to notice a change in the visual scene has been used as an investigative tool to gain new insights on visual system mechanisms, it has recently become an issue itself. In the last decade, many studies have addressed the flip side of change detection, namely the change blindness phenomenon. Change blindness refers to functional blindness for an otherwise visible change in th...
متن کاملCurrent Approaches to Change Blindness
Across saccades, blinks, blank screens, movie cuts, and other interruptions, observers fail to detect substantial changes to the visual details of objects and scenes. This inability to spot changes (“change blindness”) is the focus of this special issue of Visual Cognition . This introductory paper briefly reviews recent studies of change blindness, noting the relation of these findings to earl...
