Awareness Test!

That was a great way to show awareness.

I saw that about 2 or 3 years ago and completely forgot about it.

Seen something similar and I still almost missed it!

LOL, that was pretty good. I was primed to look for something out of the ordinary too, still didn't see it.

Hey, I counted all 13 passes... so what's the big deal? I just subconsciously didn't think the moonwalking bear was a threat, that's all. But those basketball players..... you gotta keep a sharp eye on them.




Seriously........ I really feel like an idiot..... how the heck did I miss a moonwalking bear?

Well I think it depends on how often you see moon-wlaking bears. I don't want to speak for everybody but some may be use to that, so it didn't throw them off.

I didn't see the moonwalking bear because that was a pathetic attempt at a moonwalk that and I was busy counting white passes. Man I suck at awareness.

I didn't know it was a bear... oh wait, it wasn't a bear... just some guy dressed up "dancing" which is what I saw.

I counted 13 passes and saw the guy in the bear suit. I probably only saw the bear guy because I had read these posts talking about a guy in a bear suit. I guess that means I can count and look for a bear at the same time. That's gonna come in handy!

That's awesome! Forewarding!!!

Stay safe.

The sad thing is that even after it asked me if I saw the moonwalking bear, rewound, and played the clip again, I still did not see the moonwalking bear until I watched the entire video from start to finish yet again.

So that just begs the question..............What caliber for moonwalking bears?........

I hope no one takes this too seriously. It's just an exercise demonstrating selective attention, the theory that humans can't focus on all percepts simultaneously.

They tell you outright to count something specific, and then do something you weren't told about. It's the same thing magicians do.

I only counted 11 passes so I obviously missed 2, but I did indeed notice the moon-walking bear. I think, though that I was primed and looking for something to happen though. Had I not known it was an awareness test, well, then it might have been different.

pretty well documented psych phenomenon...it's been done before with a guy in a gorilla suit. The moonwalking bear was funny tho'....
