Change detection is essential to policing work, hunting, military sentry, or any other activity where a threat or target might demand action with a ballistic weapon. In these types of tasks, the observer is typically required to surveil a scene vigilantly, searching for changes. Change blindness is therefore a liability and the efficient detection of changes could increase the time available to assess threat – thereby reducing errors in categorization that can tragically lead to mistakes. Given the importance of change detection to gun-related activities and the emerging link between tool use and attentional allocation, we asked whether training with a gun or holding a gun would affect change detection.
