- Simons (1999): Gorillas in our midst: sustained inattentional blindness for dynamic events
Simons and Chabris reviewed evidence on change blindness and inattentional blindness and report a new study, based on classic divided-attention research, testing inattentional blindness for complex…
- Simons (2009): The effects of individual differences and task difficulty on inattentional blindness
Simons and Jensen note that most earlier work used a single critical trial. In Experiment 1 a staircase procedure equalised primary-task performance across participants in a dynamic task, and task…
