Attention To Detail Lyanne Yozawitz was asked to describe the bandana she was wearing. Lyanne correctly described much of the bandana, though she missed recalling the presents and party hats. Remembering details is challenging!!!!

Attention To Detail Dr. Ron Shapiro applied lotion to Lyanne’s right hand and asked “Lyanne, what is on your right hand?” She correctly replied “Lotion.” Ron then touched Lyanne’s left hand and asked “What is on your left hand?” Lyanne stated repeatedly that nothing was on her left hand. Ron placed a cloth ring on Lyanne’s right hand. Lyanne said you placed an elastic on my ring finger. Still she reported “Nothing” on her left hand. Even after her blindfold was removed Lyanne insisted that there was nothing on her left hand. When asked what her task was, Lyanne said “To tell you what you put on my left hand…” Great try, Lyanne, but not quite right!!! Lotion Lyanne’s beautiful ring purchased during her semester abroad in London. Ring Lyanne, once again, smelling her hand for clues. … Lyanne smelling her hand for clues. …

Object Localization Lauren Busani-Halevi was blindfolded and told to find an object worth more than a dollar by searching and asking questions. To make the task challenging Lauren was not told what the object was. Lyanne’s next task was to find her prize by searching and asking questions… while blindfolded. She is shown (top left) holding a sign so everyone in the room but Lyanne would know what she was looking for. In the top center photo she is searching and (top right) taking a peek. She is shown holding her prize in the lower right. Time for a peek!!! Prize My prize ?????????
