Bystanders seem to let the world pass by. They miss much that is going on
around them. This sensory pattern is not
necessarily dysfunctional as long as life choices are made with it in
mind. Being a bystander can be a strength in certain contexts. Imagine a chaotic
environment. You would want someone who could "keep calm and carry on."
Bystanders need
sensations intensified so that they notice the important stuff. Their thresholds are high like seekers...they just never meet them on their own volition. In order for salient
information to be noticed, it needs to be made bigger, brighter or animated. In
school, accommodations include brightly colored paper under worksheets to bring a
student's attention to his/her desk. Directions or important information are highlighted to separate them from the background. Are you thinking what I am thinking? Yes, there's an app for that!
This series of blog posts will look at apps with the Bystander in mind.
