- Cognitive Assessment Identifying Common Features Flashcards

Three figures are shown: a red circle with a dot in the center, a red square with a dot in the center, and a red triangle with a dot in the center. Which TWO features are shared by all figures?

Answer: Red color and dot in center

All three shapes are red and all have a dot in the center. They differ in shape and number of sides.

Consider the words: NOON, DEED, LEVEL. What feature do all three share?

Answer: They are all palindromes

All three words read the same forwards and backwards: NOON, DEED, LEVEL. They are palindromes.

Three grids are shown, each 3x3. In Grid A, the diagonal from top-left to bottom-right is shaded. In Grid B, the diagonal from top-left to bottom-right is shaded. In Grid C, the diagonal from top-left to bottom-right is shaded. What common feature do they share?

Answer: The main diagonal is shaded

In all three grids, the diagonal running from the top-left to the bottom-right (the main diagonal) is shaded.

What common feature connects the fractions 1/2, 3/6, and 5/10?

Answer: Both A and B

All three fractions simplify to 1/2 (or 0.5), and all have odd numerators (1, 3, 5) and even denominators (2, 6, 10).

Three shapes are shown with arrows: Shape A has an arrow entering from the left and exiting from the top. Shape B has an arrow entering from the bottom and exiting from the right. Shape C has an arrow entering from the right and exiting from the top. What is the common transformation?

Answer: The arrow rotates 90° clockwise

In each case, the arrow's exit is 90° clockwise from its entry: left→top is 90° CW, bottom→right is 90° CW, right→top is... actually let's verify. Left to top = 90° CCW. Bottom to right = 90° CW.

What do the shapes pentagon (5 sides), heptagon (7 sides), and nonagon (9 sides) have in common?

Answer: All have an odd number of sides

Pentagon has 5 sides, heptagon has 7, nonagon has 9. All three have an odd number of sides.
