Likely too dramatic of a change and we will have to find middle ground but wanted to get the ball rolling.

This previous definition was over simplified to the point of being unhelpful and blurring the line between change blindness and innattentional/perceptual blindness. Based on this current definition there is nothing to differentiate these two terms.

Our card for inattentional/perceptual blindness:

{{c1::Inattentional blindness}}, also known as {{c1::perceptual blindness}}, is a phenomenon that occurs when {{c2::we focus closely on one thing, so we fail to see other things that are in plain sight}}.

Change blindness is specifically failing to notice the difference between two visual states in which the change has been blocked from being seen in some manor. The current card definition can apply to both innatentional and perceptual blindness because of its lack of specificity and doesnt offer any help in identifying these two terms.

5:41Now be careful, because the difference
5:43 the difference between change blindness and inattentional blindness
5:46is subtle but important.
5:48Inattentional blindness means that you miss something
5:51right in front of you, while change blindness means
5:54that you fail to notice a difference
5:56between a previous state and a current state,
5:59like when you don't notice when your mom gets a haircut
6:02or you get back to your room and don't
6:04notice that furniture or books are in a different place.

The previous image was really not much help in understanding change blindness so replaced it with the situation described in the KA video.
