Inattentional Blindness: Why Your Brain Misses the Gorilla #Shorts #PsychologyFacts

Inattentional Blindness is the astonishing psychological fact that shows just how limited your brain’s attention can be — even when something like a gorilla walks through plain sight. In this Short, we dive into the famous experiment where viewers were told to count basketball passes—and nearly half of them missed a man in a gorilla suit strolling across the court.

This unexpected example of inattentional blindness reveals how our mind filters out details when we're focused on one task. It’s one of those mind-blowing psychological facts that makes you question what else you might be missing in your everyday life.

Here’s a quick breakdown:
• What happened? Participants watched a game and counted passes.
• What they missed: A gorilla walking through the action—because their attention was locked onto the basketball.
• The takeaway: Our perception is shaped by where we place our attention—sometimes at the expense of obvious events.
