Visuospatial Processing for Education in Health and Natural Sciences

Visuospatial Processing for Education in Health and Natural Sciences

Visuospatial processing is key to learn and perform professionally in the domains of health and natural sciences. As such, there is accumulating research showing the importance of visuospatial processing for education in diverse health sciences (e.g., medicine, anatomy, surgery) and in many natural...
