- In classrooms teeming with activity, noticing every student is a challenge. This is because the human brain has blind spots. These blindspots have been well researched and documented. In a fascinating study, participants were given a video to watch, with a job to do. While 6 people mingle in a room throwing a basketball around, count how many people with white shirts passed the ball. During this 24 second duration, a person dressed in a gorilla suit slowly marches across the room, stops in the middle to pound his chest, and then walks away. 50% of the people who watched the video did NOT see the gorilla!
