A hand moving in a semicircle, however, seems to short-circuit our saccades. The arc doesn&#039;t tell our eyes where the hand is going, so we fixate on the hand itself—and fail to notice the other hand reaching into our pocket. &quot;The pickpocket has found a weakness in the way we perceive motion,&quot; Macknik says. &quot;Show the eyes an arc and they move differently.&quot;&#039; - This can be used in editing. Curved movement is harder for the eye to predict, so therefore it can be used to cover up, for example, continuity errors.

So don&#039;t do something that requires them to plan ahead in their mind, but rather try to highlight the conflict that they are going to face. Perhaps you could say something like &#039;I know you don&#039;t want to take your coat now, but when you&#039;re standing in the yard shivering later, remember that you can get your coat from your bedroom.&quot; toddler toddlers childhood psychology research development parenting cognition communication memory learning children brain http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090325/sc_livescience/whytoddlersdontdowhattheyretold 2009-03-20T23:34:31Z http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CMLinks/~3/yOVHvrmtIy4/ MythMaker &quot;The Freesound Project is a collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed sounds.
