In the discussion of this topic, it seems to me there's an implicit assumption that not seeing the gorilla is a bad thing; that radiologists, whose business it is to see things in an X-ray, _should_ have seen the gorilla if psychology hadn't messed them up. I disagree. Their business is not to see gorillas but to see cancer. Their skill is at least partly in knowing how to ignore informatiion not relevant to the critical task (detecting gorillas), and maximizing success at what they're being paid for: to find cancer. JC: My comment earlier was on this point. Do radiologists confirm that lung is cancer free and all areas are healthy (which they could not do for the gorilla-covered area or for natural flaws in images if such occur), or do they simply detect cancerous regions (which again would be unknown for any hidden area on the image). So unless they can detect flawed sections of the image, their judgments must be compromised by imperfect images. Perhaps they are also attuned for expected flaws as well as cancer indicators, but are not attuned for gorillas. What would happen if you simply asked ... is this a high quality image? or ... are there any flaws in this image? Take care Jim --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

RE: [tips] Inattention blindness in radiologists
Dear Ken and Tipsters, Radiologists had up to three minutes to freely scroll through each of 5 lung CTs, searching for modules as we tracked their eyes. They clicked module locations with a mouse. The gorilla was entered on the final trial. The naïve observers were given 10 minutes teaching about now to identify modules then completed the same task as above. Note that afterwards everyone was asked if they noticed anything unusual when re-exposed to the gorilla slide. Everyone saw it.

Re: [tips] Inattention blindness in radiologists
Stephen is correct in his recollection of the superior memory for chess positions only when master players are asked to remember chess positions from genuine games. They perform like novices when confronted with pieces randomly arranged on a chess board. (Chase Simon, 1973, Perception in chess, *Cognitive Psychology, 4,* 55-81) Also related to the training of expertise in visual search thread begun by Stephen: Look at the work of Shiffrin and Schneider on controlled an automatic processing (the 1977 *Psychological Review* articles). In the first article (Schneider Shiffrin,* 84*, 1-66), they document the improved speed and accuracy of visual search under controlled mapping conditions, when targets are always targets and distractor stimuli are only used as distractors. Although accuracy for targets improves dramatically and becomes very fast, the participants devote little processing to the non-targets and have no idea what these might have been. (They are little more than blurs and the targets pop out when they appear.) In the second article (Shiffrin Schneider, *84,* 127-190) they document the cost associated with this expertise. In one experiment in this series, they ask participants to search for targets in only two of the four areas where stimuli appear (one diagonal of the 2X2 display matrix). Under controlled mapping conditions, trained participants made errors when a target appeared in a two-be-ignored area of the matrix just before a target appeared in a to-be-attended area. The first target draws attention to the to-be-ignored cells of the matrix and this diversion of attention reduced accuracy in detection of the target. _ Claudia J.

[tips] Russian Meteor And Dash Cams
As most Tipsters must now know, being the news mavens that they are, a meteor blew up in the sky over Russia today. Evidence of the meteor's streak and explosion was provided by numerous car dash cams that captured the meteor's fate. This event, of course, leads to a natural question: Why do so many Russians have dash cams? The Wired website is also concerned with this question and has provided one answer; see: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/02/russian-dash-cams/ Quoting one person who commented on the story: |The sheer size of the country, combined with lax - and |often corrupt - law enforcement, and a legal system that |rarely favors first-hand accounts of traffic collisions has made |dash cams all but a requirement for motorists. | |Just like New Jersey Either that or Russians really love to post videos to YouTube or the Russian versions of YouTube (for the curious, URLs are provided in the article). -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

[tips] The cruise from hell/ Seligman
It would appear that passengers who spent days stranded at sea,in what has been dubbed The cruise from hell would fit in well into Seligman's Learned helplessness paradigm.A friend of mine who was on the cruise was so happy to see land that he texted LAND AHOY! No cannibalism was reported. Btw,is there a Marine Psychology specialty? Can you imagine teaching a Semester at sea and faced with this predicament? michael --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
