Pattern Match shows a pattern and asks you to find its match among alternatives. The distractors are deliberately close, so the task is comparison under similarity rather than recognition — which is much harder and much slower.
A reference pattern is shown.
Several similar candidates appear.
Find the one that matches exactly.
Distractors get closer as you progress.
Your score combines accuracy with time.
Detailed visual comparison. When items share most of their features, comparison becomes serial — you check feature by feature, and time scales with how many features you have to check.
Pick one distinguishing feature and check it across all candidates before looking at anything else. Eliminating on one feature is far faster than full comparisons.
Start with the feature that varies most across the options.
Do not compare candidates to each other. Always compare to the reference.
Eliminate rather than select — a wrong candidate is easier to prove than a right one.
Because you cannot use pop-out detection; you have to compare feature by feature, which is serial and slow.
Yes.
Odd One Out asks which item breaks a rule. This asks which item is identical to a given reference.
One-feature elimination. It usually reduces four candidates to one in a single pass.
