in a new book "the invisible gorilla and other ways our intuitions deceive us," authors christopher chabris and daniel simons show how little we know about our own knowledge.
在新书《看不见的大猩猩以及直觉欺骗我们的其他方式》中，作者christopher chabris 和 daniel simons表明，我们对自己知之甚少。
how we fool ourselves over and over
sometimes we don’t face that 800-pound gorilla in the room because we don’t notice him in the first place. this is what researchers christopher chabris and daniel simons proved in an experiment done 10 years ago.
in a video two groups, one group with white tee shirts, the other black, move randomly in a room while passing a basketball. the viewer’s task is to count how many passes the white-shirted members make. halfway through the video, a woman dressed in a gorilla suit walks through the groups, stops, faces the camera, thumps her chest and walks off. half of all viewers miss this. i did, and it left me unnerved.
