Imagine seeing an image of a cat in front of a wide scene of mountains and being told just to remember the mountains if you saw them in a later picture. As an adult, that's not hard to do. But a new study shows that, even when told to pay attention to the mountain, preschool children focus so much on the cat that they won't later recognize the same mountain. (1)

Look around.

Take a notice of everything there is.

Watch out for the cat.

Look at the great mountains.

They will distract you from the one thing you will never see…
