I selected the research findings for the presentation from a growing body of studies you'll find under the general heading of visual cognition, often abbreviated to viscog, as in the Viscog Lab at the University of Illinois, where Daniel Simons hangs out.

Other researchers: Daniel Levin (Vanderbilt); Christopher Chabris (Harvard); Richard Wiseman (Univ Hertfordshire). I'm sure there are lots more people you can find if you look; it's a fast-growth field in psych.
