This is a working memory exercise designed to test your ability to remember visual details after a brief exposure. Let's go through the task step by step and solve it.

🔍 Step 1: Understand the Task

You are shown four teapots at the top of the page. You're instructed to look at them for one minute, then fold the paper (or cover the top) and circle the ones you remember from the original set in the second section, which contains eight different teapots.

Your goal: Identify and circle only the four teapots that were in the original image.

🖼️ Original Top Image (Remember these):

Here are the four teapots shown at the top:

1. Red-orange striped teapot with red lid and handle
- Vertical ridges
- Red spout and handle
- Red lid

2. Yellow pitcher-like teapot with green trim and plant pattern
- No lid
- Green handle and spout
- Has a band of green at the bottom
- Decorated with small plants

3. Blue teapot with light blue triangles and light blue spout/handle
- Dark blue body
- Light blue triangular pattern
- Light blue spout and handle
- Rounded shape

4. Red and dark green striped teapot with curved spout
- Alternating horizontal stripes
- Dark green lid and spout
- Curved spout
- Handle on the left side

✔ Now, Compare to Bottom Section

Below are the eight teapots. We need to find the exact matches from the top.

Let’s examine each one:

1. Top-left (blue with triangles) → ✔ MATCHES the third teapot from the top (blue with triangle pattern)
2. Top-middle-left (yellow with green trim & plant design) → ✔ MATCHES the second teapot from the top (yellow pitcher with plant pattern)
3. Top-middle-right (red with gray body and floral pattern) → ✘ Not in the original (different design)
4. Top-right (red-orange striped with red lid) → ✔ MATCHES the first teapot (red-orange striped)
5. Bottom-left (blue teapot with dotted surface and handle on top) → ✘ Not in the original
6. Bottom-middle-left (red and green striped with curved spout) → ✔ MATCHES the fourth teapot (striped with curved spout)
7. Bottom-middle-right (yellow-orange with red lid and red spout) → ✘ Different color scheme (original had red-orange, not yellow-orange), and the pattern isn't vertical ridges — this one looks like a different version.
8. Bottom-right (gray metal-style coffee pot) → ✘ Not in original

✔ Correct Answers to Circle:

From the bottom section, you should circle:

1. Blue teapot with triangle pattern (top-left)
2. Yellow pitcher with plant design (top-middle-left)
3. Red-orange striped teapot with red lid (top-right)
4. Red and green striped teapot with curved spout (bottom-middle-left)

> ⚠️ Note: The bottom-middle-right (yellow-orange with red lid) might seem similar, but it's not the same as the first one — the original was red-orange with vertical ridges, while this one has horizontal ridges or no ridges and a different shape.

🧠 Final Answer:

👉 Circle these four teapots in the bottom section:
- Blue teapot with triangles
- Yellow pitcher with plant design
- Red-orange striped with red lid
- Red/green striped with curved spout

These are the only four that match the original top image.

💡 Tips for Working Memory:

- Focus on unique features: patterns, colors, shapes, lids, handles, and spouts.
- Try to visualize the image after the one-minute exposure.
- Use mental grouping: e.g., “the striped one,” “the blue one,” etc.
