    I thought the "walking hotdog" was one of those women wearing a dress with a scarf hat thingie lol

    I agree with Penelope. I did successfully count the number of times that Anna jumped the rope while also noticing the woman walk past in the background. However I just thought it was someone in the background wearing a religious head scarf. Just like there were random passers by in the first trial

    I got them, but could not make out that it was a hot dog..I just noticed a person crossing in a funny hat and what looked like a yellow coat? What does it prove?

  • @zerazara
    @zerazara Před 8 lety +13

    I counted 24. I did not see a walking hotdog, but however i was thinking: What the fuck is that guy in the background wearing?

  • @legitscoper3259
    @legitscoper3259 Před 3 lety +8

    Yes. I saw him. Maybe because of my ADHD (and my mechanisms to mange / cope the with the initial disability)
    I even have noticed that (in my opinion) the cars in the background in the first video were driving really fast.

  • @connordante5349

    I found out it is easier to count if you slightly defocus, and rely on your subconcious.

      During the shell game, I stare into the middle of the area and rely on my peripherals. The only time it fails, is when they are dishonest. (Slight of hand shell swapping)

  • @EricStOnge-yz9tr

    I was looking at the man the whole time and didn’t know what he was or what he was doing. I still got the right answer though

  • @dead2551
    @dead2551 Před 3 lety +4

    While knowing it's a selective attention test, I payed so much attention that while counting the times that guy was kicking the ball I thought I had spotted a police chase LOL

    • @chrissizemore3424
      @chrissizemore3424 Před 3 lety +1

      it kinda ruins the fun cause once you see selective attention test you dont count anything and all you focus about is whats in the backround its like seeing a movie more than once it gets boring

    • @chrissizemore3424
      @chrissizemore3424 Před 3 lety

      i didnt count shit at all cause i was focused on trying to see the man walking in the bakcround

    • @chrissizemore3424
      @chrissizemore3424 Před 3 lety

      i was just like fuck the counting rofl

  • @ramen2486
    @ramen2486 Před 4 lety +1

    i think this was easy for me because you can just observe the rest of the screen as you count seeing the ball or the rope with "side view" or whatever. the cups were up close so i feel it'd be hard to miss anything anyway?

  • @gregorymirabella1423
    @gregorymirabella1423 Před 2 lety

    all i had to do was count the jump rope by tapping my hand each time she jumped, but the hotdog person in the background was so obvious that it didn't even matter.

  • @mikikotsugai417
    @mikikotsugai417 Před 7 lety

    in selective attention there are task that they are talking about like stroop task and flanker task, so what kind of task is this? i really need it for our thesis and also can i have a copy of your research to add it on our related study?

  • @jamieodonnell8976
    @jamieodonnell8976 Před rokem

    I saw the hot dog, but couldn't see the front of the costume clearly enough to identify it as a costume, so thought I was just looking at a brown overcoat & pink-dyed hair.

  • @nffm

    even after the zoom in i dont see any hotdogs...

  • @baitafish695
    @baitafish695 Před 5 lety +1

    I’ve been working on my selective attention and now I can see other things in the background and still get hits close to the correct number I counted 38 on the first one

  • @skule5727
    @skule5727 Před rokem

    I saw the hot dog. I also noticed that it looked like there was a street race between a red truck and a black car in the first one lol... also got all the numbers right

  • @ceciliagardner295

    It would have been better if the hotdog was facing us. It looked just like a passer by.

  • @MrMagickStar
    @MrMagickStar Před 7 lety +3

    Last test was way-to-easy: you just need to use your peripheral vision+your main (just like if you were look something before the girl jumping the rope). You can count the jumps and see the hot dog at the same time :D still a great video anyway ^O^

    @dragonbullets2763 Před 6 lety

    I saw the hot dog and guessed the numbers . i figured out the Rythm and used it to count while not looking closely and for the cups one .. i did not even think something can change and i to not figure it out while looking clearly at all 3 cups paying attention to where they all move

    I got all of them, and I saw the guy

  • @Lexicondiablo
    @Lexicondiablo Před rokem

    mmmmm...I guess this attempts to remodel the gorilla walking through the basketball players test. That works owing to the need to track the ball over the width of the screen which demands concentrated focus and the limited colour contrast in the set up. Unfortunately the rope jump has relatively static participants and vivid unique colours so the guy walking left to right in the background is glaringly obvious.

    It was easy because when you take the rythm of the jumps and you can do 2 thing at the same time like me and other people, the test wasn't hard.
