Problem
Take a moment to think about the concepts of inattentional blindness and change blindness.
Have you ever experienced inattentional blindness or change blindness in your environment? Think of one example in which one of these forms of "blindness" might affect you in your everyday life. Describe your example in detail and discuss how the functions of the attentional system might have contributed to your experience. Think about attention as spotlight, attentional set, and other related vocabulary from the course materials.
What are your thoughts about the impact of technology on our attentional system? Is the use of social media (TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram etc.) leading us to experience situations of inattentional and/or change blind.
