I need you to modify one discussion and give me two replies

One student’s

I truly enjoyed reading this chapter. Some of it was new, but there were also concepts that I had learned about. For example, concerning the section “inattentional blindness,” I have watched the video on Chabris and Simon’s website many times as well as several similar ones. I think it is amazing that if it does not pertain to what we are looking at, we simply do not see it.
I also was interested to learn about the correct terminology of when one is not able to see the difference in photos- change blindness. While staring at figure 9.19 (pg. 269), I truly did not see the difference until I read about it. Relating to photos, attentional capture is a term to describe a stimulus that grabs our attention. I see myself doing this with picture books and skimming through titles. The ones that stick out- gravitate more towards us.
I am not sure if anyone else saw this, but in figure 9.31 (pg.280), I did see a rabbit like stated, but I also saw a bird with its peak slightly opened- pointed on the left hand side. This is what is known as perceptual bistability- the alteration of the perception of a static visual image.
Some concepts that I realized were important to distinguish are covert attention and overt attention. Covert attention is in reference to the misalignment of visual direction with our direction of gaze. While overt attention is when there is the alignment of our visual attention with direction of gaze.

Hi everyone,

This chapter for me was easy for me to understand all the concepts for the most part. There were some concepts that I already learned about and some new ones as well. In this chapter I have learned that attention is very important when dealing with perception. It allows us to focus on what is important between the here and now. There are two different types of aspects when dealing with attention called selective which is when we focus on one thing are ignore the rest. And then divided which is paying attention to more than one thing at a time. I have learned that all the information coming in all the time some of it may not be important so we are not able to process it all. Attention is a processor for information and only allows us to process information relevant to that task.

One of the concepts that I really didn’t know about until after reading this chapter was about the Attention as a Limited Resource. In this section what I read about was Attention being used as a spotlight. Meaning when moving that spotlight from place to place it moves your what you are focusing on. For example texting and driving. When you have two tasks that require both high mental capacity your performance on one of those things are going to suffer because your mind can only focus on how to do one task at a time.

As usual combine both and make one discussion and replies for both the student’s. Please label which student.
