I know of this from psychology literature. It's spooky, how much can pass us by! I didn't see the moonwalking bear either. And the thing is that after a few passes, I didn't even bother to count anymore, I just watched the video, thinking "Oh, I'll notice if something extraordinary happens". Well, I didn't.
I always wondered what happened to Yogi the Bear....now I know! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I counted 13 passes but I didn't see the bear until the third viewing. I find it hard to be aware of the bear's existence even when I am looking for him.
They ask you to focus on the white guys, if they didn't say anything or they asked you to focus on the black ones you would probably notice the bear. It was easy the second time around too.
That's not fair. The video player had some sort of glitch and I saw the question before the video started. Needless to say I spotted it right away.
this better not be one of those things that make you be all focused and then a monster jumps off the screen and gives you a heart attack
Then I scored high! Thank you for reframing that. I feel better about myself. I'm just glad I wasn't an epileptic who took that test.
