Biopsychology and Perception
It was almost 8pm, well after the day shift had ended and I sat at my desk writing up the events of the day and my daily reports. My office is located in a building that houses the entire service department as well as all the supervisor’s offices. Usually the halls and building become eerily quiet after day shift ends. I tend to leave my door open so I can keep an ear out for anyone coming or going from the building. I also have no windows in my office, so it helps to circulate the air a bit. That day, I hadn’t been sitting for more than a few minutes when I heard two voices right outside my office. One voice I recognized as a fellow supervisor and the other was one of my workers. I was easily able to hear their entire conversation taking place. They were having a discussion about the order in which people were chosen for overtime and a discrepancy. I remember jotting down a little note on my desk pad, to bring up overtime in our next weekly meeting. A few minutes later I heard the discussion end. I finished up what I needed to do and I went home. The following morning I arrived to my office around 5:30am. I barely had my butt in my chair when my superior came in and shut my door. He asked me if I was in my office the night prior and had I heard any of the conversation that had taken place between the supervisor and employee. I of course said yes. He then asked me to write down exactly what I had heard or observed in detail and to try to be as specific as I possibly could. At first I felt extremely nervous. I thought about all that had happened and sat there wondering what the heck was going on. I kept thinking what happened and why do I have to do this. It was just a typical work conversation. When I was finished writing what I had observed, I went to my boss’ office to hand in my write up of what happened. I handed in the letter. My boss then explained to me that the supervisor was accusing the employee of threatening him. I was shocked at what I was hearing. The supervisor was saying that my employee said, “You’re going to find yourself in a sling”. Having heard the entire conversation I had heard my employee say,” You’re going to find yourself in a hearing”. So now I knew why my boss was having to get me involved. Where I feel I was fooled was, both sides of the disagreement say the conversation became heated. I think that I am so used to hearing difficult conversations, I became numb to the sounds of peoples voices becoming escalated. I never thought at one point during that conversation that I needed to go out into the hallway to intercede on their conversation. I honestly just felt it was two people having a discussion. I didn’t notice any inflections in their voices that had me think differently. Knowing that my employee never threatened the supervisor, and was being threatened to be suspended without pay, I had to take some action. After reading and learning more about the how the ear and the brain work in conjunction with each other, I have a deeper understanding of how auditory functions can play a huge part in our daily perceptions. Because there was little JND but not an immense amount, I didn’t perceive what was happening right outside my door for what it really was. I had experienced my own, In-attentional blindness. Had I not been so focused on my work, maybe I wouldn’t have missed what was really happening 4 feet from me.
