Sep 29th class' response

Did you see the gorilla or not? what about the other clips? talk a little bit about your experience this morning.

At the first time in the gorilla's experiment, I counted the number of passes all guys had been doing through each other and I counted 50. I also noticed they were 2 teams playing along with, blacks and whites, and at the middle of the game I noticed the faded-gorilla figure passed by the screen.

I really had some many problems with the forward 2 excercises because it was not easy for me to realized relevant changes in the pictures. I glad I found At the Cottage picture the faded bush converted into stones.

The excercise doesn't state any special quality or kind of intelligence, sometimes it was a luck performance, but attention. People lack of attention in many ways, and when it comes to notice changes in the excercises, people focused on the most special details, but irrelevant.

This experiment is a kind of joke to people, and a confirm the limitness of human behaviour.

  1. Hi Mauricio,

    I don't know if I would categorize these a jokes, though their effects can be funny. I think the intention is rather serious: asking people to examine their awareness of their surroundings. In the videos, nothing is at stake, but in the real world, well, we know how things can be different!
