Why this matters
Beyond curiosity.
Practical consequences
Eyewitness testimony is less reliable than juries assume. Safety-critical displays must respect attention limits. Interface design that fights perception produces errors.
- Confidence in what you saw is not evidence of accuracy.
- Designing for how people actually perceive is cheaper than training them to compensate.
A useful humility
Your experience is a model, usually accurate and occasionally confidently wrong. Holding that lightly is the most transferable lesson in this course.
