Levin and Simons (1997) hypothesized that coding is necessary for detecting changes in observable inconsistencies, referenced as \u201ccontinuity errors\u201d. Viewing 2-D video images, about 10% of the participants \u201csensed\u201d any continuity errors. Levin and Simons (1997) reasoned that \u201cattention is necessary for change detection\u201d (p. 503) and \u201cattended objects require explicit coding\u201d (p. 502). A second study cued participants to focus attention on the actor in movie clips, noting any discrepancies. The results surprised Levin and Simons (1997) with 70% oblivious to the body double shift at breaks in scene\/filming. And so, Levin and Simons (1997) conducted a third experiment providing concise verbal directions. Continuity errors when provided with verbal cues are more easily recognizable. Rensink, O\u2019Regan, and Clark (1997) support that verbal cues and focused attention in eye movement are highly associated. In conclusion, Levin and Simmons (1997) concluded visual observations and assimilation with the environment require guidance and understanding language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A year later, Simons and Levin (1998, p. 644), utilized empirical data on retinal function, defining the inability to observe changes from one view to another as \u201cchange blindness\u201d (Rensink, et al., 1997). Taking the experiment to 3-D in personal encounters Simons and Levin (1998) momentarily blocked pedestrian view while implementing a body double \u201ccontinuity error\u201d. The results showed approximately 50% noticed any changes (Simons & Levin, 1998, p. 646). Further hypotheses on \u201cmemory\/language\u201d influencing results proposed ingroup similarities contributed to \u201cfocusing\u201d on changes in body double. Simons and Levin (1998) conducted a second experiment on these social confounds, which resulted in only 30% noting changes in visual cognition from body double exchange. Simons and Levin (1998, p. 648) attributed the decrease to outgroup affiliation from college\/young adults, \u201cdramatically reducing\u201d the ability to detect \u201cthe centrally attended object.\u201d Scientific methodology and inquiry promote further research, as seen at the conclusion of these two studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is significant to note the large effect of discrepancies in observations both in video and real life. With attention alone insufficient for detection, and verbal cues necessary for increased awareness, the foundation of eye-witness testimony challenges empirical data design. Interestingly, because our visual system does not assimilate and compare (Simons & Levin, 1998) the effects of media cues, verbal cues, and technological \u201cnote\u201d plausibly would influence the young mind to \u201cfocus\u201d on a crucial point. What IF this point is countercultural? What if the central focus could cause emotional\/mental harm? What if the focus attention is intentionally misguided?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Levin and Simons (1997) and Simons and Levin (1998) introduce the possibilities of greater disciplined awareness in both media and real-world situations. Likewise, the opportunity to alter or force doubt into one\u2019s experience by verbal cue or guided imagery is concerning. The importance of ethical standards in research, society\u2019s institutions, and medical\/psychological practice is essential to upholding the development and well-being of vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
