Psychologist Dan Simmons once did the following attention experiment. Simmons asked the subjects to watch a video of basketball training: there were six players in the video, divided into two teams. 3 members of the white team, wearing white shirts; Wear black for 3 players. The players of the two teams practice passing the ball together. Sometimes they return the ball and sometimes throw it into the air. They are intertwined and dazzling. Simmons asked the subjects to watch the video carefully, try to keep up with the rhythm, remember the passing times of the white team, and prevent mixing up and remembering the passing times of the two teams. After the video was played, Simmons asked, "did you notice anything strange in this basketball training?" The subjects shook their heads after recalling. Simmons asked, "did you see the gorilla on the court?" Then he replayed the video. When the subjects looked again, they were surprised to find that a man in a gorilla costume strolled around the court, slapped himself on the chest at the camera, and then walked away slowly. Many subjects insisted: "the video must have been tampered with, otherwise how can we not see such an obvious' gorilla '?" Simmons explained: "the reason why you didn't find the 'gorilla' on the court is that your attention is focused on the players wearing white shirts and keeps an eye on the number of passes they pass. Therefore, your attention blocks not only the number of passes passed by the black team, but also the figure of the 'gorilla'." Then Simmons replaced the gorilla with a woman with an umbrella and repeated the experiment again. The result was the same. After the above two experiments, Simmons wanted to know more about what would happen if one of them was replaced by a more similar one when two people were talking? For example, when a customer checks in at the hotel front desk, the front desk attendant's pen falls off. While bending down to pick up the pen, another waiter suddenly appears in her position. They are all middle-aged people with short hair and glasses. Will customers find that they have changed another waiter? Maybe someone will think, how can customers not see such a big change? Simmons proved through experiments that the actual situation is not what people think. If the two waiters have similar characteristics, nearly half of the customers do not notice the change. Simmons explained that this is because customers focus on check-in and ignore the appearance of the waiter. It's like driving on a busy street, usually only focusing on the road conditions, traffic lights and other vehicles, not on the white clouds in the sky and pedestrians on the side of the road. Attention is not only an important choice, but also an important abandonment. Focus on what you will find; You will feel what you pay attention to. A person who is used to paying attention to truth, goodness and beauty will feel that he lives in a bright world; A person who is used to paying attention to hypocrisy, evil and ugliness will feel that he lives in a dark world.
