      abstract = {Many people believe that merely by opening their eyes,  they see everything in their field of view; in fact, a line  of psychological research has been taken as evidence of the  existence of so-called preattentional perception. In  Inattentional Blindness, Arien Mack and Irvin Rock make the  claim that there is no such thing - that there is no  conscious perception of the visual world without attention  to it. The authors present a narrative chronicle of their  research. Thus the reader follows the trail that led to the  final conclusions, learning why initial hypotheses and  explanations were discarded or revised, and how new  questions arose along the way. The phenomenon of  inattentional blindness has theoretical importance for  cognitive psychologists studying perception, attention, and  consciousness, as well as for philosophers and  neuroscientists interested in the problem of  consciousness.},
