Experimental Psychology - Change Blindness

A special case of information-selection by the human cognitive system. The brain seems to select the information worth to process, or most relevant, at every instant, in almost every context. This might produce some very specific phenomena such as what psychologists call "Change Blindness". (FB) --------------------------- Such kind of experiments try to show the limits of our capacity to encode, retain, and compare visual information from one glance to the next. This suggests, among other issues, that our awareness of our visual surroundings is far more sparse than most people intuitively believe. (FB)

The Rouge Test with a 17 1/2 month-old

The rouge test is a commonly used assessment of self-recognition. If the individual goes to wipe off the makeup, then it is evidence that he/she recognizes the image in the mirror as his/her own reflection. Since the subject is still younger than 18 months, it is not surprising that she does not attempt to touch her own forehead when seeing the red spot on the "other girl's" head. I plan to post a follow-up video once she "passes" the test.
