Cognitive Daily reports nearly every day on fascinating peer-reviewed developments in cognition from the most respected scientists in the field.
This week's study is a simple test. You'll first be directed to a Quicktime movie of a painting. The painting will flash repeatedly, changing slighly between flashes. You have 9 seconds to identify the change; then your browser will automatically redirect to a survey, with (as usual) 5 questions to answer (most important, of course: what changes in the picture?). The whole thing should take less than a minute to do, so why not give it a whirl?
Make sure you're ready to look closely at a flashing picture before you click on the link to start!
By the way, here's the information on the painting:
Eugène Delacroix
French, 1798 - 1863
Christopher Columbus and His Son at La Rábida, 1838
What we're trying to do with this test is to see if we can identify relevant factors in how people identify change. It should be more clear when we publish the results next Friday.
As usual, you have until 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern time Wednesday, January 25 to participate, or until we've collected 250 responses, whichever comes first.
I'm going to close the comments for this post so that readers aren't tempted to give clues about what changes!
