Illusions!

:D LIKE THE SECOND ONE!!!

have seen the first one before. (murmusing " maybe there are half of the black dots " :confused: )
 
I can do it with my right finger, but when I tried with my left finger I got all messed up! Weird! :confused:
 
There are no black dots.

And fluffybunny - I did that, had no trouble at all.

Cheers
 
Huh, well, I did psychology and frankly, you do not want to know what that says about you Martin and Rainbowgurl.

Visual perception was the only bit of psychology I really liked - absolute doss of a lesson. Just look at pretty pictures for hours.
 
Well, it's not like I didn't see the supposedly black dots, I just understood that there aren't any.

And please, enlighten me with your pshychological profile of Li'l Ol' Me.

Cheers
 
I got the second one right, too, by the way - I did it both ways, first I named all the colours, as they said, and afterwards I also named all the words.

Easy.

Cheers
 
In my professional opinion, I'd say that your answers indicate clearly that you abused your pet gerbil as a youngster. Don't try and deny it, claiming you never even had a gerbil - you've just repressed the memory as it was so traumatic. Three minutes on my couch and I'd soon have you pouring out the full truth.

Exactly how far up your own arse is your head?

I do wonder to what extent that one's made easier for us who don't speak English natively though. I had no problem with it either, but obviously to me the color yellow connects with the word "Gul" before it connects with the word "Yellow", so there's less conflict. Alas, I hadn't seen the test in Norwegian first. Of course, tempo might be a factor too. Keeping the tempo moderate would probably make it fairly simple, as you can sort out any confusion in the millisecond before you actually say anything.

There's a lot of nice visual illusions, one of my favorites is one I can't find right now, but where you stare at the center of two circles, and when you move your face closer to/away from the screen, it looks like they're rotating.

Anyhoo, I did stumble upon this fairly nice site for visual illusions while looking for it: http://dragon.uml.edu/psych/illusion.html
The page ncludes some explanations too.

You could be on to something here!

And Freya - I'll never deny torturing my pet gerbil; she was a bit of a masochist.

Øystein,

I think you may be correct – I was intrigued by your surmise and so I created a document very similar to that Darren linked to but replacing the names with that of colours in French, Spanish and Italian. Now I am not fluent in those languages but I know enough and can easily understand the different colours. I did the test again with my document and I had no trouble distinguishing both words and the colours which I had trouble with the first time round with the original text (I could do it if I concentrated and went slower than normal, but at my normal reading speed, I messed up on the second line as I was reading the word rather than the colour).

You can tell I have far to much time on my hands at work :p
 
Hmmm, poor you working so hard you have to spend all your time on the internet - you know i really think i should write to your boss and tell him to need more work to keep you occupied ;)
