I use these videos when teaching anything on Attention from Introduction to Psychology, Sensation and Perception, and Cognitive Psychology. Very useful in that there are many options so I have quality yet short clips that are different for each class. They clearly demonstrate that we cannot attend to everything! It is challenging for many students to understand that their own memory and attention are not as good as they believe.
