Perceptual Speed: Matching at Pace

This task presents four pairs of letters. Count how many pairs match (case-insensitive) and select 0–4 accordingly.

Scanning Strategy

  • Glide left to right, pair by pair.
  • Mentally tally matches; say them internally (“one…two…”).
  • Avoid backtracking; commit to the first pass.

Common Pitfalls

  • Confusing similar shapes (I/L).
  • Double-counting after losing place.

Drills

Practice untimed first to eliminate errors, then enable timing to build speed.
