ABSTRACT:
This study investigated the relationship between visuo-spatial representation, mental rotation (MR) and functional anatomy examination results. 184 students completed the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), Mental Rotation Test (MRT) and Gordon Test of Visual Imagery Control. The time spent on personal assignment was also considered. As expected, men scored better than women on both GEFT and MRT, gender differences being also elicited when considering the anatomy results. Significant correlations were found between visuo-spatial and MR abilities, and anatomy examination results. Data resulting from the best students’ analyzes underscore the effect of high MR ability which may be considered reliable predictor of success in learning anatomy. The use of specific tests during learning sessions may facilitate the acquisition of anatomical knowledge.
