Feb 22, 2014 at 21:55 comment added Elliott Frisch @DavidRicherby That's why it was a comment. I wasn't 100% sure what the OP was looking for. But I might learn about subject A while researching subject B, then later research subject A for it's own sake.

Feb 22, 2014 at 19:52 comment added David Richerby @ElliottFrisch It's absolutely not research. Research is a deliberate process of trying to find out about something, which may or may not succeed. The OP is asking about an increased level of awareness that occurs without conscious effort.

Feb 21, 2014 at 14:42 comment added Eric Lippert A similar effect -- not quite what you describe, but you might be interested in it anyway -- is the observer-expectancy effect. That's when someone tells you "there will be unusually many blue cars on the road today" and suddenly hey, there are. But without the prompting you would not have come to that conclusion yourself.
