"Visual Test Reveals Shocking 50% Miss Rate"

The change blindness test is a way of determining just how susceptible you are to witnessing a change as it occurs, but failing to see the transformation. The results can be caused by not paying attention, where your eyes are focused, or how well your memory works. Change blindness can also happen as a result of being distracted, having expectations that differ from what you are seeing, and visual manipulation.
