This is a good example of high attention top down processing and lower the lower level of top-down processing. First our attention is driven to take notice of the puzzle shapes to map out where they fit. There is movement in this because we can plainly see where the pieces go and we are ready to place them there if given the opportunity. We link and connect with the pieces out of place and the ones already in place which makes it every active. As for the lower level of of the processing we note that the puzzle pieces we are trying to connect are a lighter color. Hence, they are on the darker contrasting background. Then you of course take notice of the silhouette of the man on the right but we know he really provides no clue to helping us put together the puzzle other than that fact that he might be trying to do the same thing. If we were to use a rapid eye movement tracker on the photo, I predict that the most time spent would be on the outlines of the puzzle shapes.
