Document Summary
When kids have a preference for novelty stimulus. When train them to perceive a stimulus and then offer something new, if they are annoyed enough with the initial stimulus, and then they prefer the new stimulus (react more to it) Test a: habituation (they get used to the first stimulus) Test b: they have to notice a difference somehow. Or it has to be a difference they care about. Person 1 is asking person 2 for direction. Person 3 and 4, carrying a door, barge through person 1 and person 2 and keep walking past them, but while the door is blocked the group of people, 50% and more of people fail to notice that the two people have swapped. It seems like maybe the observer is not encoding all of the information from the environment (e. g. , the swapping of both confederates) People often don"t notice when the people swapping are people of the same gender and same category.
