'''Current Approaches to Change Blindness - Daniel J. Simons - Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA'''<br>
''Highlights and Quotes ''
"Across saccades, blinks, blank screens, movie cuts, and other interruptions, observers
fail to detect substantial changes to the visual details of objects and
scenes." ''(pg. 1)''
<br>
<br>
"People also show change blindness
when the original and altered image are separated by a “mudsplash” (O’Regan,
Rensink, & Clark, 1999), by a cut or pan in a motion picture (Hochberg, 1986;
Levin & Simons, 1997; Simons, 1996), and even by a real-world disruption
(Simons & Levin, 1998)." ''(pg.2)''
<br>
<br>
"Phillips,
1974; Simons, 1996). In the flicker paradigm, an original and modified image
are presented in rapid alternation with a blank screen between them. Observers
respond as soon as they detect the changing object. Research using this paradigm
has produced two primary findings: (1) observers rarely detect changes
during the first cycle of alternation, and some changes are not detected even
after nearly 1 minute of alternation (Rensink et al., 1997); and (2) changes to
objects in the “centre of interest” of a scene are detected more readily than
peripheral or “marginal interest” changes (Rensink et al., 1997),"
