My relative solved this puzzle quickly. She first looked for
patterns in the edges and noticed that three of the four images had an inner
bar that the fourth one didn’t. Her mental process of solving this used the Pattern
Seeking, Matching, and Rotating visual thinking operations described by McKim.
Her puzzle solving strategy was more subconscious for this
puzzle. She said that it was difficult for her to figure out which was the ring
of cubes that was different. She began by counting the number of cubes in each
ring and when she saw there were 10 in each she said that ring C seemed odd to
her, but she couldn’t figure out why, and she decided to choose it as her
answer. I believe subconsciously her mind used visual memory to see that ring C’s
shape did not match the other options.
I began by looking at the center of each square to see if
there were any differences, and then I scanned outer edges of each square. This
was when I also saw the same bar in 3 of the 4 images. My process also followed
the visual thinking operations of Pattern Seeking, Rotating, and Matching.
With this puzzle, I chose to focus on ring B and compare it
to the other three options. I focused on the left side wall of ring B and by
mentally rotating it was able to match it to A and D, but not C. According to
McKim, I used the visual operations of Finding, Rotating, From Another
Viewpoint, and Matching, during this puzzle.
