How can experts see the invisible? Reply to Bilalić and Gobet

Abstract

Experts in all fields are able to see what is invisible to others. Experts are also able to see what is visible to all-and this is explored by Bilalić and Gobet. We question the method of normalizing all subjects in an experimental condition, and asking experts to behave as if they were novices. We claim that method leads Bilalić and Gobet to a nonsequitur.
