The Attention Thing

OK. Some of my students have shared with me the attentional channels thing about the basketball players. The idea is to watch it and count the number of passes. YouTube have taken off the original one, so here is a slightly different version, but just the same principle.



The idea is twofold: first, to show you a bit of psychology; second, to make you think about how attentive you are when you drive. Ask yourself if you really think it's OK to use your mobile phone when you are driving. Or your satnav. Or to change the CD in the player. Or to turn round and swipe at the kids messing around in the back.

Then watch this little clip. WARNING! It's not pretty. But then true life isn't always, is it?
