Talk:Inattentional blindness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From the needs work website:

Inattentional blindness needs a lot of fleshing out. It was just a paragraph consisting of a brief description. I added a discription of the most well known study and some relavent links, but its still has some big holes. Dalf | Talk 07:18, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Native American Indians on Caribbean Islands couldn't see Columbus's ships

I have heard this a number of times now, but I still don't know if it is true or not.

If this is TRUE, then I believe it would be considered an example of Inattentional blindness.

If NOT true, then I think this article should address this as a common example of a MIS-understanding of Inattentional blindness.
