Change Blindness- Group 33
November 12th- Today we worked on all the handouts that we got to understand and plan out everything that we need to make our experiment work.
November 13th- Filling out experiment sheets on who needs to be tested, age, gender, how long each experiment will take, etc. Other members of the group worked on SH13 the essay.
November 14th- We got more student handouts to fill out today. These ask us what materials we're going to need, and how much they cost, and where we get them etc. We should spend little to no money. Our experiment is Change Blindness. We will set up a "scene" and have people come up and take a survey. While they are taking this survey, we will change the background in some way. After they're finished we will ask them if they have noticed if anything changed. Since their focus was on the survey, they should detect 0- very little change. But some people might detect a lot! We just want to measure how many people can detect all the changes.
November 15th- Finishing up more of the student handouts which are due tonight. We are figuring out the materials that we are going to change and what we're going to use to distract.
November 19th- Brought in tri-fold and one of our group members figured out where everything would go. Meanwhile, I made the survey which the participants will fill out that will hopefully distract them while we change the background.
November 20th- Sketched out layout of poster.
November 27th- Making sure everything is finished and put together for parents tonight.
November 28th- Psych fair day!!! The day went really well, we got a lot of people who wanted to do our experiment. When we approached them and asked them if they wanted to take a survey, they were not really excited to do it, but went along anyways. Once we took them into the room and explained the rules, they seemed kind of excited to play the game. We set up a "Survey" with one of those spot the differences pictures. They had 30 seconds to write down as many changes as they could find. While they were finding the differences, two of the people who were changing that round went behind the wall and changed their appearance. Once the time ran out, the two people came back out and told the people taking the survey to click next, and read the next question carefully. Most of the time, the people had to reread the question a couple of times before they really understood it. When they did, they would look up at the two people and would look everywhere. (even their shoes which surprised us, because when we talked to them before changing they made eye contact and never looked at the shoes.) Most people noticed 0-1 out of the 3 changes, small amount noticed 2/, and only 3 people notices all three and got them correct. A lot of people thought that we were switching people, and different people came out of behind the wall. We proved our hypothesis correct. When people are distracted and/or focused on a certain thing we tell them to, they won't notice their surroundings.

What is your experiment? What handouts did you work on?
