Perception & Visual Processing
Change Blindness
The failure to detect changes in a visual scene when the change occurs during a brief interruption, eye movement, or distraction.
In plain language
People frequently miss changes to a visual scene, especially when attention is directed elsewhere. Animations and transitions exist partly to defeat this.
In the wild
Implementations of this model aren’t wired to this view yet — they live in the implementations table.
