- The page lists ten cited studies, from Stroop’s 1935 experiment to the 1999 invisible-gorilla study.
Field notes
The described run starts with a word, three doors, and one swipe or tap; each gate applies a different rule. The page connects effects such as the Stroop and Simon effects to named studies, and says a crash screen identifies the source when a trick catches the player. It also describes collecting study cards and cheese between runs. The source list contains ten citations, including work by Asch and by Simons and Chabris.
