This is an interesting article that shows how most of us wouldn’t notice if a gorilla came on the floor during a basketball game, if we’d otherwise been given the task of counting the number of pass plays during the game. It is based on a scientific study that aimed to show that memory isn’t reliable.
I’m not explaining it well – just go read the article and you’ll see what I mean.
