For example work colleague A asks you to look over some work he's done, and while your looking it over he switches with work colleague B.

It would probably work with me because I'm c*** (not the best) with facial recognition. But what about normal people?


That actually happened in the study that I did! Person A swapped for person B, and the participant knew person B! They just apologised that they isn't realise it was them!


That seems to imply that they would notice the change, but still it would be interesting to see what would happen if the subject knew both people.

Speaking of change blindness I've only just noticed Tomo still has his christmas avatar.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

All hail the Beardless Beard!

Anyone who is a cross between Derren Brown and Will from The Inbetweeners meets my approval.

Even greater things are to come from Chris. Believe me.

Here's more change blindery. All good stuff. With Susan Greenfield this time, who I liked when I read her books, but disliked when I saw her on a BBC documentary.
