Studies two and three both covered the importance of attentional control within an inattentional blindness test. Although both of them had different outcomes, study two assumed attentional control remains something you just have or don’t, while study three explained that your brain can be trained through art and repetition. Study one and three both showed how people with ADHD can benefit from inattentional blindness tasks, either by showing their weaknesses to be strengths or representing how art plays a role in attentional control training. Each of these studies represented different parts to a new discovery in inattentional blindness. In the first study we see a breakthrough in the way people with ADHD happen to be seen. If they can detect changes within a scene and at the same time accurately respond with the correct amount of bounce passes, then maybe have ADHD isn’t such a weakness.

A blog I was listening to the other day pointed out a very interesting point concerning ADHD. They defined ADHD as a self-regulating issue and used video game usage as an example (Copper, J. & Simons, D., 2014). They pointed out that children with ADHD can play video games for hours without having an issue paying attention. Even adults with ADHD can spend hours on the internet and not get bored. If people with ADHD can pay attention in these areas therefore this is a sign of hope for the
