Core concepts
Concept 1
Find relevant visual cues among competing or repeated information.
Exam cue: Identify the active rule and reference frame before acting.
Concept 2
Define the target features before scanning and confirm all required features before responding.
Exam cue: Balance pace with a repeatable accuracy check.
Concept 3
Use original exercises to build transferable aptitude rather than memorising supposed live-test content.
Exam cue: Treat the exercise as general ability practice, not a reconstruction of the RAF interface.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
A partial feature match can draw attention away from the complete target.
Guardrail: Do not turn a broad public ability into a claim about secure RAF test content.
Do not infer secure CBAT timing, scoring or task design from this practice topic.
Guardrail: Do not turn a broad public ability into a claim about secure RAF test content.
Memory anchors
Visual Search and Selective Attention: focus
Find relevant visual cues among competing or repeated information.

Visual Search and Selective Attention: boundary
This original study topic supports the public RAF ability “Physical response to visual information”; it is not a disclosed CBAT subtest or live item format.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
