Awareness Test | Selective Attention Test | Invisible Gorilla Style Test

http://marriagehealthy.com An awareness test in the style of the selective attention / invisible gorilla test by Daniel Simons. Do the test. See for yourself. This visual attention experiment will test your awareness of what you see, and more importantly, what you miss.

There are various versions of this optical illusion -- including the monkey business illusion and the moonwalking bear. The video shows the fascinating psychology of perceptual blindness by our brains when we are strongly focused on something. During times of intense focus, our brains can miss even the most obvious images in full visual view, as this experiment shows. It's amazing how our brains can be tricked into "selective visual" blindness.

Take the test and see how the strength of your awareness measures up.

Um, this website is utter bullshit. It's an ad trying to capitalize on the selective attention craze. First of all, the words in red "healthy marriage". Second, the pictures were flashing at regular intervals. The invisible gorilla was credible. This is pure marketing.

@serpfire Of course this has a marketing element to it. So does the original. For the guy who put up the original gorilla video, how many more books do you think he has sold as a result of his video going viral? Marketing is not a dirty word. Without marketing of some form, almost all the free stuff you see on the Internet would not exist. Youtube itself exists in its current form because they are able to raise money through marketing.

@serpfire How do you think YouTube pays its bills. It through advertising. While most people never stop to think about this, YouTube is just one big advertising company that happens to attract people to its ads by providing free videos. So the quality of the video is not undermined because it has a marketing element. Its quality depends on whether or not the claimed effect is absent or present. Clearly many people who view the video experience the same effect as the gorilla one.

It has to do with focusing on one task so you do not see random information.
