Awareness Test

[Cricket]

Have you seen this awareness test (http://break.com/index/awareness-test.html)?

I didn't notice it at all. LOL

I did see it, but didn't realize what it was allegedly doing. Of course, the second time, I had to watch very close to see that that's what it was doing. I'm *still* not sure about that part, lol.

I didn't see it AT ALL I was just proud of myself for correctly counting the number of passes! After I saw the bear, for some reason it really freaked me out...like I thought it was scary and creepy. I'm weird, I know! Very interesting test...

Someone showed this to my dh at work. I counted the passes correctly at least. :lol:

[Karen sn]

that was cool. Is it a tv commercial for bike awareness?

[Soph the vet]

I got the number of passes right but I totally missed the bear!:smilielol5:

[*anj*]

Nope, I missed it altogether. I was too busy keeping my eye on the ball. I got that right anyway! :glare:

I just have to say, for what it's worth, that I thought it was a fun exercise, but I really don't think it works for teaching cycling awareness. We were directed to count a certain number of something, causing our eyes to stay on the ball. When I am driving, I am looking around at everything -- cars, pedestrians, cyclists and so forth. I am aware that my job is to be aware of my surroundings. Notice they also dresses the bear in black -- the opposite color of the team you were told to look at. It was quite a set-up, really.

I think some people are so involved in non-driving things that they would see a semi heading straight for them. LOL

But, it was still fun. Thanks for sharing.
