Questions:

In one of the earliest experiments on attention, Wilhelm Wundt asked participants to watch a pendulum swinging (Links to an external site). over a graduated scale and to note the location of the pendulum on the scale at the moment a bell sounded. He noted that his participants were always slightly delayed in their responses, despite never needing to take their eyes off the pendulum. What do you think is the reason for this delay? (Hint: consider Posner's spotlight of attention metaphor; video also might get you started).
Show someone you know the gorilla video (or make your own video similar or that demonstrates inattentional blindness!) but do not clue him or her in to looking for something. See how many of your friends spot the unexpected object. Describe to them why this happens (what is inattentional blindness and how does it work). What was their reaction? What was your explanation for them on inattentional blindness?
Overt attention occurs when your visual attention lines up with your direction of gaze, which makes passing a ball pretty easy. Covert attention occurs when your visual direction does not line up with your direction of gaze. Watch some examples of the no-look pass (Links to an external site). and try out the no-look pass with a ball or a paper to the garbage, etc. From you perspective as the person throwing the ball, do you get distracted? Does it seem natural? How many times do you practice before completing the pass? In what other sports is this skill useful?
