Summary, etc In an award-winning and groundbreaking study, psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons asked volunteers to watch a 60-second film of a group of students playing basketball and told them to count the number of passes made. About halfway through, a woman dressed head to toe in a gorilla outfit slowly moved to centre screen, beat her chest at the camera, and casually strolled away. Unbelievably, almost half of the volunteers missed the gorilla. As this astonishing and utterly unique new book demonstra tes, exactly the same kind of mental illusion that causes people to miss the gorilla can also explain why many other things, including why: honest eyewitness testimony can convict innocent defendants expert money managers suddenly lose billions Homer Simpson has much tot each you about clear thinking Insightful, witty, and fascinati ng, THE INVISIBLE GORILLA closely examines the impressions that most profoundly influence our lives and gives practical advice on how we can minimize their negative impact
