This card highlights a little known learning difficulty that is actually borderline physical disability, for it is Visual or Form Agnosia. The eyes are fine when tested, but the brain is affected in as much as it cannot recognise objects, faces, or shapes - and to fathom out this puzzle is quite beyond them.
The fault with their brains seem to mean that they can either see parts of the whole but not join them together to form a recognisable object - or that they can see the object entrely and well but cannot describe it in words. And whilst it is believed that most cases come from a physical cause like a stroke or disease there are cases which appear all on their own - and it is thought that eventually these will come to form a category all their ownsual processing?
I threw this puzzle out as a teaser on our news feed, just as the picture and the fact that we were looking for words that began with the letters U, C, M, E, B, S C, (which made up the capital letters of the slogan "Use Clark`s Mile End Best Six Cord"). And now I can reveal that the items you need to search for are, as listed on the back of the card, are
- an urn
- a cannon
- a man
- an elephant
- a balloon
- a seal
- a cap
Now I mainly threw that out to you so I could reveal where they are, because to a large degree people with dyslexia, like me, have great difficulty in spotting these "hidden objects" and "spot the difference" tests - and this is yet another proof that perhaps agnosia is not entirely due to brain or other injury.
