Watching a few specific objects while they move among identical others, and reporting how many sit inside a monitored area, is a classic radar and system-monitoring task in pilot selection. Memorise the highlighted targets, keep tracking them once everything looks the same, and count how many are inside the zone when the screen freezes.

This measures sustained multi-object tracking and monitoring under distraction: keeping several moving items in mind while other things compete for attention. It models traffic and target awareness in a busy environment.
At the reveal, give your targets a rough grouping (left pair, lone one top-right) rather than trying to lock onto every dot. Then watch the edge of the zone, where dots cross in and out, instead of fixating on the centre.
Strong candidates stay accurate as the target count and speed rise. Aim to count correctly and consistently at Medium before stepping up to Hard, and to answer within a second or two of the freeze.
