Hi Interesting study, although I wonder what it says about radiology examinations. If part of the lung was covered by an ape, then it was impossible for the radiologist to determine that the tissue in that region was not contaminated, assuming that inattention blindness does not mean that viewers see through the ape. Does that mean that radiologists look only for symptomatic objects in the images, rather than determining that all parts of the image are actually clear? And what would happen then if there were "imperfections" in radiology images such that the health of the region was indeterminable? Or does that never happen? The cited study certainly suggests that radiologists cannot identify even gross imperfections (the ape) in the images, unless there are certain types of imperfections that are indeed caught.
In the original studies, has anyone ever determined whether the counts of passes were off systematically because of passes hidden by the ape-suit character in the middle of the scene?

I showed the original in the cognitive class last week. When I heard the story I sent the NPR link to the class. I think it is good to be able to show how a rather goofy study about attention can actually have real applications.
