Who is Simon and Levin, and what do they have to do with this article? Karajou (talk) 14:44, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

I'm confused by your confusion. They did the research that I tied the reference to. Simons and Levin demonstrated how change blindness occurs in people. I won't go over the entire research; it's all right there on the page. Here's more information. --Pinely (TALK) 15:06, 5 August 2018 (EDT)
You posted a couple of names, nothing more. Who is Simon and Levin, and what is the reference? Karajou (talk) 15:17, 5 August 2018 (EDT)
Nothing more? I have a date tied with it, and the reference is tied to the research. Simons and Levin conducted a research in 1998, thus, (Simons & Levin, 1998). I got the citing from a book, so I used the book's citation of the researchers and the date of the research. More specifically, Simons is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois with a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Cornell University. Levin, PhD, of Vanderbilt University, is a professor of psychology of the same university, and is Simons' colleague. This is all I know of them. --Pinely (TALK) 15:40, 5 August 2018 (EDT)
Disagreeing with you. I do not see at all Simon and Levin's work as a reference. You have cited Simon and Levin as a source, so what is it? What did they write that you have to have it as a separate source reference in the article? All that you did was to add a couple of names from the bibliography of a different book they had no part in writing. Karajou (talk) 15:56, 5 August 2018 (EDT)
If you look up Simons' & Levin's 1998 experiment on change blindness, you will see many works that they have done together in the field, but only one is from 1998. They have a video and an article that both pertain to the study; Simons, Daniel J.; Levin, Daniel T. (1998), "Failure to detect changes to people during a real-world interaction" (PDF), Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, https://doi.org/10.1016/S1364-6613(97)01080-2. I am unclear on why you believe that the "(Simons & Levin, 1998.)" reference on the paragraph of their research is considered unsatisfactory. --Pinely (TALK) 16:16, 5 August 2018 (EDT)
It was completely unsatisfactory that you didn't put it in to begin with. Karajou (talk) 16:22, 5 August 2018 (EDT)
How could I? I had no knowledge of it. I realize now that the book does indeed have the source (I checked twice, so I glossed over it twice), so I will add it. --Pinely (TALK) 16:25, 5 August 2018 (EDT)
