Inattentional Blindness Concept Map Overview
Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible but unexpected object when attention is focused elsewhere. A concept map of the topic usually starts with the definition, then branches into the classic demonstrations, the attentional factors that cause it, and its links to related ideas such as selective attention and change blindness.
- Definition: failing to notice unexpected stimuli while attending to a task
- Classic studies: the gorilla experiment and related attention tasks
- Causes: limited attentional capacity, task load and expectations
- Related ideas: selective attention, change blindness and inattentional deafness
Use the map to revise the main concepts before an exam, then build a personalized version from your own notes with CogniGuide.
Inattentional Blindness Concept Map FAQ
Common questions about the topic and making your own map.
What is inattentional blindness?
It is the failure to consciously notice a clearly visible object or event because attention is directed to something else. It is a common finding in attention research and is often demonstrated with visual tasks.
What is the gorilla experiment?
In a 1999 study by Simons and Chabris, participants counting basketball passes often missed a person in a gorilla suit walking through the scene. It is the best-known demonstration of inattentional blindness.
Which files can I use to make this map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn the map into a quiz?
Yes. CogniGuide can turn a map into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can become flashcards. The free plan includes 5 creations a week.
