You have signed your
contract and downloaded your manual and are preparing
for your program. Congratulations! We've provided a few
tools to help you save time and resources in preparing
for your course.
The following
video should be shown 2-3
times in this exercise. The
first time, instruct your
students to count how many
times they see the
basketball passed between
the players. Once they’ve
seen the video, ask if
anyone saw anything unusual?
If you get any ‘yes’, have
them hold their answers
until everyone has had a
chance to see the video a
second time. Then ask again,
did anyone see anything
unusual? Then talk about
what people saw and what
people didn’t—the idea of
perception vs.
concentration. Finally, you
can show the video a third
time for those who still
haven’t seen the ‘gorilla’
in the midst.
