"Which feels heavier--a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?" A potential perceptual basis of a cognitive riddle.

abstract：:We present two experiments that examine sensory processing during conditions of inattentional blindness. A large rectangular frame that normally induces a Roelofs effect can go unreported due to inattentional blindness. Even when participants fail to report the frame, they mislocalize an attended target in a way consi...
