observation and attention- Jennifer Urban

Labor day I spent it hanging out with some friends. For the first 30 mins I observed them using their phones. I calculated who picked it up the most times and then realized why was this important to me so I decided to tell them about my observation then began observing them again after I told them. After telling them I realized that they noticed my every move after words. They looked at me as I jotted each observation down and by the second half of the hour I realized that they used they’re phones less. This observation to me was important because it shows that humans do not realize what others around them are doing unless you point it out. This observation reminds me of the video we saw in class and how mostly everyone missed the person in a costume walking towards the middle of the scene. These two observations relate because it proves how humans can be deceived by their eyes when told to complete one specific task or not told at all.
