Re: Aw Crap
[quote name="Mischief McGoo"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Mischief McGoo"]Just thought I'd jump back in to say I just mentioned this experiment to my prof and found out I made a crucial mistake in giving instructions. I was supposed to have you pay attemtion to how many bounce and air passes the <B>White</B> team makes, thus you don't see the black gorilla suit.[/quote] How does this tie into noticing the face of an attacker? or really, anything <b>not</b> involving unnatural pre-instructions like counting casual basketball passes? Even Rainman would probably notice a rapist in the act.[/quote] It's not about noticing a rape in progress or not seeing the rapist's face, it's about retaining enough details to make a proper identification afterward. Just like you miss the gorilla when you're focusing on the white shirts, you miss details that can identify a stranger while focusing on gun that's in your face. <A HREF="http://www.truthinjustice.org/positive_id.htm" TARGET="new">This</A> probably explains it better. Since I fucked up the instructions the viceral punch the gorilla video adds is lost. Okay, back to my finals caltrops hiatus.[/quote]
