Bannerblindness is a phenomenon in web usability where visitors on a website ignore banner like information. The term bannerblindness was coined by Benway and Lane ref Benway, J. P., Lane, D. M., http www.internettg.org newsletter dec98 banner blindness.html BannerBlindness Web Searchers Often Miss Obvious Links , 1998, Internet Technical Group, Rice University ref as a result of website usability tests where a majority of the test subjects either consciously or unconsciously ignored information that was presented in banners. Subjects were given tasks to search information on a website. The information that was overlooked included both external advertisement banner s and internal navigational banners, e.g. quick links. The placement of the banners on a web page had little effect on whether or not the subjects noticed them. The result of the study contradicted the popular web design guideline that larger, colourful and animated elements on a website are more likely to be seen by users.

orphan date July 2009 Mergeto Bannerblindness date December 2008 Ad blindness is a term used to denote the state of conscious or subconscious ignorance of advertisement s placed in a web page by visitors due to various reasons like irrelevance, vanilla design and familiarization of the webpage layout. For example, ad blindness is a behavioral challenge presented by frequently re visited portals like news portals, discussion forums and blogs. Worst affected tended to be the right hand column of standard tri column layouts, which usually holds text ads. In this case users tended to ignore this column even if non ad content was placed there. In the initial stages of the usage of internet as an advertisement medium i.e. around 1995 , the delivery of the advertisement was not an intelligent process. Furthermore, creative methods were not applied on internet advertisements. This is believed to be the beginnings of Ad Blindness behavior that was exhibited by internet users and webpage visitors. Over the years, however, the targeting of advertisements has become more intelligent, aided by advancements in technology and an increase in social research data on internet user behavior. Since the turn of the 21st century, one of the major causes of ad blindness is familiarization of the webpage layout of frequently re visited websites.

Different cultures through history have depicted blindness in a variety of ways among the Greeks , for example, it was a punishment from the gods, for which the afflicted individual was often granted compensation in the form of artistic genius. Judeo Christian literature positioned blindness as a flaw only through a cure could God s love be made manifest, when the scales would fall away from the eyes of an afflicted individual upon contact with a holy man or relic. Almost without exception in early literature, blind people could bring this condition down upon themselves through sin or trespasses against the gods, but were never the sole instruments of its reversal.

Flash blindness is visual impairment during and following exposure to a light flash of extremely high intensity. ref http www.hf.faa.gov docs 508 docs cami 0107.pdf Laser Pointers Their Potential Affects on Vision and Aviation Safety April 2001 FAA ref It may last for a few seconds to a few minutes. For example, in everyday life, the subject of a flash photograph can be temporarily flash blinded. The bright light overwhelms the eye and only gradually fades. A bright spot or spots may be seen for many minutes. Cause Flash blindness is caused by bleaching oversaturation of the retinal pigment. As the pigment returns to normal, so too does sight. In daylight the eye s pupil constricts, thus reducing the amount of light entering after a flash. At night, the dark adapted pupil is wide open so flash blindness has a greater effect and lasts longer.

Inattentional blindness , also known as perceptual blindness , is the phenomenon of not being able to perceive things that are in plain sight. It is caused by an absence of attention to the unseen object and is clear evidence of the importance of attention for perceiving. Without attention we are as if functionally blind.

Mind blindness can be described as an inability to develop an awareness of what is in the mind of another human . It is not necessarily caused by an inability to imagine an answer, but is often due to not being able to gather enough information to work out which of the many possible answers is correct. Mind blindness is the opposite of empathy . Simon Baron Cohen was the first person to use the term mind blindness to help understand some of the problems encountered by people with autism or Asperger syndrome or other developmental disorders. Generally speaking, the Mind blindness Theory asserts that children with these conditions are delayed in developing a theory of mind , which normally allows developing children to put themselves into someone else s shoes, to imagine their thoughts and feelings. ref name cohen Baron Cohen, Simon.

Repetition Blindness RB is a phenomenon observed in Rapid Serial Visual Presentation . Subjects are less likely to detect the repetition of a target stimulus physiology stimulus than they are to detect a second, different target. For example, a subject s chances of correctly reporting both appearances of the word cat in the RSVP stream dog mouse cat elephant cat snake are lower than their chances of reporting the third and fifth words in the stream dog mouse cat elephant pig snake . The precise mechanism underlying RB has been extensively debated. Nancy Kanwisher has argued that it involves failure to tokenize the second appearance of a repeated stimulus, leading to the second appearance being dropped from short term memory before it can be reported. However, Whittlesea and colleagues have argued that repetition blindness arises from a failure to properly reconstruct the list, both online and post list. This failure to properly reconstruct the list arises from the poor encoding cues that are the result of the RSVP task. See also Attentional blink Semantic satiation References Kanwisher, N.G. 1987 .

CrimLaw Willful blindness sometimes called ignorance of law, willful ignorance or contrived ignorance or Nelsonian knowledge is a term used in law to describe a situation in which an individual seeks to avoid civil or criminal liability for a wrongful act by intentionally putting himself in a position where he will be unaware of facts which would render him liable. For example, in a number of cases, persons transporting packages containing illegal drugs have asserted that they never asked what the contents of the packages were and so lacked the requisite intent to break the law. Such defences have not succeeded, as court s have been quick to determine that the defendant should have known what was in the package and exercised recklessness criminal criminal recklessness by failing to find out. Fact date March 2009 A famous example of such a defence being denied occurred in In re Aimster Copyright Litigation , Case citation 334 F.3d 643 7th Cir. 2003 , in which the defendant s argued that the file swapping technology was designed in such a way that they had no way of monitoring the content of swapped files. They suggested that their inability to monitor the activities of users meant that they could not be contributing to copyright infringement by the users. The court held that this was willful blindness on the defendant s part and would not constitute a defence to a claim of contributory infringement.
