Experimental and theoretical approaches to conscious processing. (2011, background): “In inattentional blindness, a potentially visible but unexpected stimulus remains unreported when the participants' attention is focused on another task (Mack and Rock, 1998; Simons and Ambinder, 2005).”
Did you see the unicycling clown? Inattentional blindness while walking and talking on a cell phone (2009, background): “In particular, people using a cell phone may be less likely to notice new and distinctive stimuli, a phenomenon known as inattentional blindness (Becklen & Cervone, 1983; Mack & Rock, 1998; Neisser & Becklen, 1975; Newby & Rock, 1998; Simons, 2000; Simons & Chabris, 1999).”
Cognitive theories of autism (2007, methodology): “To test their hypothesis, Mann and Walker (2003) adapted a method of measuring the spread of visual attention devised by Mack and Rock (1998). In Mann and Walker’s adaptation, variously sized two-line crosshairs were presented individually on successive trials, and participants had to decide which l”
Complacency and Bias in Human Use of Automation: An Attentional Integration (2010, background): “However, attention and eye movements can also be dissociated, and the phenomena of “inat-tentional blindness” or “change blindness” (Mack & Rock, 1998; Simons & Rensink, 2005) indicates that relatively salient items of information in the environment can be missed even if they are fixated (R.…”
Towards a cognitive neuroscience of consciousness: basic evidence and a workspace framework. (2001, background): “Mack and Rock (1998) have investigated a phenomenon called inattentional blindness that clearly illustrates this point.”
Attention, Researchers! It Is Time to Take a Look at the Real World (2003, methodology): “How can one reconcile behavioral evidence of priming by lexical stimuli under conditions of inattention (Mack & Rock, 1998) with evidence that these stimuli are not semantically processed?”
Psychological theories of posttraumatic stress disorder. (2003, background): “For example, even under ordinary conditions of attentional diversion, people frequently fail to see highly visible but unexpected objects before their eyes, a phenomenon known as ‘‘inattentional blindness’’ (Mack & Rock, 1998).”
Guided Search 6.0: An updated model of visual search (2021, background): “Moreover, it is clearly related to phenomena like inattentional blindness and change blindness, where Os can fail to report clearly visible items, even when they have been fixated (Simons & Rensink, 2005; Mack & Rock, 1998).”
Approach, Ability, Aftermath: A Psychological Process Framework of Unethical Behavior at Work (2015, background): “This phenomenon, termed “inattentional blindness” (Mack & Rock, 1998), was originally demonstrated in a series of studies that focused participants on how many times a ball is passed among a group of people.”
The Representation of Simple Ensemble Visual Features Outside the Focus of Attention (2008, background): “Inattentional blindness studies have shown that without attention there is little or no consciously accessible representation of a scene (Mack & Rock, 1998; Neisser & Becklen, 1975).”
Misdirection in magic: Implications for the relationship between eye gaze and attention (2008, background): “When people are preoccupied with an attentionally demanding task, they often fail to notice stimuli that appear at fixation, a phenomenon known as inattentional blindness (Mack & Rock, 1998).”
Pay attention! A review of visual attentional expertise in sport (2009, methodology): “This can then explain why, within experiments in the area of inattentional blindness, emotional or significant unexpected objects are more easily consciously perceived than others (cf. Mack & Rock, 1998).”
Creative Learning: A Fresh Look (2016, background): “Another reason why students may not attend to learning stimuli—even highly novel stimuli—has to do with a phenomenon that Mack and Rock (1998) have called inattentional blindness.”
