Beyond the Grand Illusion: What Change Blindness Really Teaches Us About Vision
Abstract
Experiments on scene perception and change blindness suggest that the visual system does not construct detailed internal models of a scene. These experiments therefore call into doubt the traditional view that vision is a process in which detailed representations of the environment must be constructed. The non-existence of such detailed representations, however, does not entail that we do not perceive the detailed environment. The “grand illusion hypothesis” that our visual world is an illusion rests on (1) a problematic “reconstructionist” conception of vision, and (2) a misconception about the character of perceptual experience.

Even though we expect that we are capable of multitasking, our memory store may keep an incoherent and only partial representation of the world due to deficiencies of attention.
“Therefore, even though we expect that we are capable of multitasking, our memory store may keep an incoherent and only partial representation of the world due to deficiencies of attention (No€ e, Pessoa, & Thompson, 2000;O'Regan, 1992;Rensink, 2002;Rensink, O'Regan, & Clark, 1997;Simons & Levin, 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
