today we’re going to play a game
specifically designed to test your
spatial awareness meet the brain games
double dutch team now what does jumping
rope have to do with the brain well
double dutch requires off-the-chart
spatial awareness today these kids are
gonna help us test yours for this game
all you have to do is keep track of the
number of times the either of the girls
in green jumps you’ll count each time
one of them lands a jump like this 1 2 3
4 5 as you can see these jumpers are
pretty quick on their feet so you’re
gonna have to pay attention to keep up
when the whistle blows start counting
ready
so how many jumps did the green team
make did you say 38
if so you agreed with 40% of our test
audience now some of you may be on to us
but for those of you who aren’t did you
happen to notice anything else going on
during the double dutch maybe a giant
chicken strolling right through the
middle of the set and doing a funky
chicken dance now some of you may have
missed that funky chicken but many of
you probably saw it and that’s okay
because the chicken was just there to
distract you too here’s the real
question what color was the wall behind
the double dutch game here’s a hit it
wasn’t the same color at the end as it
was when they started joking the back
wall was changing color the entire time
from bright blue to bright red nearly
everyone misses it but why it turns out
there’s far too much information coming
in through the eyes at any given moment
the brain to fully process all of it as
a result the brain has to act like a
spotlight focusing our attention on some
parts of the scene but not others now
most of you were probably paying
attention to the jumpers and some of you
may have suspected that something
strange was going to happen and so you
saw the chicken but you probably weren’t
paying attention to the back wall and
what we don’t pay attention to we don’t
see
and hey for those of you who managed to
catch everything so far did you notice
that we also swapped the rope Turner’s
out halfway through gotcha
