Now you're going to watch a video on the subject*.

The video will start with a little test in order to subject* you to the phenomenon. It will go very fast! 

You will be asked to count yellow stars and red crosses simultaneously. Among these you'll be shown other shapes as well, so be prepared.

In case you need a second chance, play the video again.

If you have managed to count the yellow stars and red crosses then tell me how many you've seen.

05:33

What example(s) of inattentional blindness have you experienced? 

06:11
