The sound quality on phones just isn't as good as reality. Having somebody in the car is another set of eyes, not distracted by driving. The social demands of a fon conversation are very different from the social demands of an impersoned conversation.

In this episode of the You Are Not So Smart Podcast we discuss attention and interview co-author of "The Invisible Gorilla" Daniel Simons. Also, at the end, we eat an Oreo fudge cookie brownie and discuss the foreign language effect.
