JohnRich 4 #1 January 5, 2012 ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST Count every "F" in the following text: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIEN- TIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...How many "F"s did you count? Scroll down for the answer. Did you guess three? Wrong! There are 6 "F"s, no joke. Read it again, and try and find the extra "F"s. Then scroll down for more... Your brain does not want to count the "F" in the word "of"! Go figure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #13 January 6, 2012 I made it five. Which means I do recognise the 'F' in the word 'OF', but I can't count. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 38 #15 January 7, 2012 I "read" it backwards and counted the f's that way. No words to confuse the actual issue. Just looking for f's.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,063 #17 January 7, 2012 Hi John, I got all 6 the first time through. But I have taken this type of test before. You need to understand that it is the word 'OF' that most people miss the count with. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #19 January 9, 2012 I've seen a similar test that asked the reader to identify anything unusual in the following phrase (or something very like it): THE WIND IN IN THE TREES Looks obvious to me now, but I wonder whether everyone will spot it at first glance.

That reminds me... A few years ago they ran a study where participants were asked to count the photographs in a newspaper. In the same newspaper was a large message that said "Stop counting and tell the experimenter you've seen this and win $250." A lot of people missed it!

Yes, it's amazing how the brain knows what to expect, and can filter out that which doesn't belong, or fill-in that which is missing, and do it all without us even being aware of it.

matthewcline 0 #24 January 10, 2012 In middle school we had a pop quiz. Question 1: Write your name in the upper right corner of you test answer sheet. Question 2: Write the class period and teachers name in the upper left corner of your answer sheet. Question 3: You are done, you may stop taking the test. It then went on for a total 50 questions, various subjects. At around question 35 it asked if you had read Question 3, most wrote "Yes". I stopped on Question 7: When you are done with the test turn it in immediately. That was my clue I reread #3, erased my answers from 4, 5, and 6 and then turned in my test. 45 Students in the Class, I was six to be sent out to the play ground. AS there was no time limit the last student stayed till lunch, four hours, finishing his test. We all learned a lesson on "conditioned responses" that day. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
