Crossword
Use the clues to solve the puzzle in this fun crossword.
Experiment 1
Take a brief look at the image below and then scroll to the bottom of the image to read more about this experiment.
Now that you have had a look at the image above, it's time to test your observation skills.
Did you read the above as 'Paris in the Spring'? If so, you may want to look again!
In fact, many people will see the words 'Paris in the Spring' above and will continue to see those words until you point out the fact that it actually reads 'Paris in the the Spring'.
This effect is based on familiarity and fools most people. Your mind looks at the image, and instantly picks out a term that is already familiar to you, i.e. 'Paris in the Spring'.
Because you have probably heard this term before, your mind reaches into its depths and pulls it out for you, causing recognition and reinforcing the idea in your head that the words are 'Paris in the Spring'. We are often not very observant at first glance.
Feel free to print this image off to use yourself.
