Question

You decide to go to the community swimming pool. When you arrive, you see children jumping off the high-dive, two lifeguards, a woman swimming in a business suit, and an inflatable plastic ring. You would spend longer looking at and trying to perceive the woman swimming in a business suit. Why?

Answer 1

Your schema about what to expect to see at the pool is being violated by the woman in the business suit.

Step-by-step explanation:

When I visited a community swimming pool, I saw the children jumping off the high-dive, two lifeguards, a woman swimming in a business suit, and an inflatable plastic ring. I thought of enjoying in the pool but I spent longer time looking at the woman swimming in the business suit in the pool. The plan that I made to see at the pool was violated by the woman in the business suit.

Sometimes it may due to distraction. Lack of focus in what I want to enjoy made this to happen. Distraction happens, when we let our thoughts to control our action.
