Abstract:This project studied the effects of perceptual blindness. Our results were documented by having test subjects watch a video that we created about perceptual blindness (originated by Simons and Chabris). Overall, 62.5% of the test subjects proved to be perceptually blind. Teenagers were shown to be least affected by perceptual blindness. Children and adults were shown to be affected the most.
