Change Blindness
See also: Inattentional blindness

A recent term in visual perception research is Change Blindness, a phenonmenon that occurs both in and out of the laboratory. It is the inability to realize that changes have occured in a particular scene or to an object. Change blindness seems to favor the idea that expectations of meaning influence perception. Individual detail is less important than an overall meaning. This phenonmenon may occur partially due to the fact that our perceptual system cannot contain all possible information in one view.
