Any puzzle fans out there?
Puzzles are some of the most well-known and addictive games in the world , for both children and adults.
The first puzzle was created in the 18th century by British cartoonist John Spilsbury, who cut a map into pieces and glued it to a wooden base to be used to teach geography.
Initially it was only used as an educational toy, but at the beginning of the 20th century it began to be seen as entertainment, appearing with different shapes of pieces, levels of difficulty and different sizes and with varied themes, thus adapting to all age groups.
These are challenging games that require great visual attention and the mobilization of several visual skills, including:
- Accommodation/accommodative flexibility: focusing on the pieces and shifting focus to the overall image that is usually in the puzzle box;
- Eye movements: to look for the correct pieces;
- Visual discrimination: looking for the details of the pieces so you can put them in the correct place;
- Visual-spatial relations: rotation of the pieces to make the correct fit;
- Shape constancy: the size of the puzzle is different from that of the control image;
- Visual closure: from a piece with little information, understand where it fits.
