![]() ![]() Spatial abilities have been found important in the cognitive phase of learning a novel technical skill in health care. ![]() The cognitive phase involved in learning novel first time experienced non-repetitive tasks have been related to spatial abilities by Ackerman's theory of ability determinants. Three phases have been identified in the Fitts and Posner's theory of motor skill acquisition: cognitive, associative and autonomous. These findings imply that spatial abilities have been important in the learning process of technical skills in surgery and more broadly in health care. ![]() This systematic review has not identified any correlation in competent individuals or experts. Another systematic review in the health area has found spatial abilities test score to be positively correlated to the quality of technical skills performance in novices and intermediates but negatively correlated to the duration of technical skills performance in novices and intermediates. Also, visual spatial tests have been correlated with technical performance in surgical trainees in a systematic review. In a systematic review, visual-spatial perception has been correlated with operative abilities in the field of surgery at the end of a training programme, but not found in experts. ![]()
