Can you find the letter “T” in this image?
University researchers have found the act of ignoring certain things can help improve your performance when searching for something.
A great example is in the image below. Can you find the letter T?
And here’s a quick hint – the T won’t be red.
Did you find it? In case you didn’t, here’s where the T was:
Researcher from Johns Hopkins University suggest that while ignoring can slow down a person’s search time initially, by having time to practice consistently ignoring specific distractions, visual search improves due to a person’s ability to pay attention.
We see it at play in the images below. Try to find the T in the image below.
Once you have, try this image. The T won’t be red.
You should have been able to find the second T much easier to find than the first one.
