Spatial ability (SA) is the cognitive capacity to understand and mentally manipulate concepts of objects, remembering relationships among their parts and those of their surroundings. Spatial ability provides a learning advantage in science and may be useful in anatomy and technical skills in health care. This study aimed to assess the relationship between SA and anatomy scores in first‐ and second‐year medical students. The training sessions focused on the analysis of the spatial component of objects' structure and their interaction as applied to medicine; SA was tested using the Visualization of Rotation (ROT) test. The intervention group (n = 29) received training and their pre‐ and post‐training scores for the SA tests were compared to a control group (n = 75). Both groups improved their mean scores in the follow‐up SA test (P < 0.010). There was no significant difference in SA scores between the groups for either SA test (P = 0.31, P = 0.90). The SA scores for female students were significantly lower than for male students, both at baseline and follow‐up (P < 0.010). Anatomy training and assessment were administered by the anatomy department of the medical school, and examination scores were not significantly different between the two groups post‐intervention (P = 0.33). However, participants with scores in the bottom quartile for SA performed worse in the anatomy questions (P < 0.001). Spatial awareness training did not improve SA or anatomy scores; however, SA may identify students who may benefit from additional academic support.

空间意识训练会影响医学生的解剖学学习吗?

空间能力 (SA) 是理解和在心理上操纵物体概念、记住物体部分与其周围环境之间关系的认知能力。空间能力提供了科学的学习优势,并且可能对医疗保健的解剖学和技术技能有用。本研究旨在评估一年级和二年级医学生的 SA 与解剖学分数之间的关系。培训课程的重点是分析物体结构的空间成分及其应用于医学的相互作用;SA 使用旋转可视化 (ROT) 测试进行测试。干预组 ( n  = 29) 接受了培训,并将他们在 SA 测试中的训练前和训练后分数与对照组 ( n = 75)。两组在后续 SA 测试中的平均得分均有所提高(P  < 0.010)。对于任一 SA 测试,两组之间的 SA 分数没有显着差异(P =  0.31,P =  0.90)。在基线和随访时,女学生的 SA 分数显着低于男学生(P  < 0.010)。解剖学培训和考核由医学院解剖学系负责,干预后两组考试成绩无显着差异(P =  0.33)。然而,SA 得分在后四分位数的参与者在解剖学问题上的表现更差(P < 0.001)。空间意识训练并没有提高 SA 或解剖学分数;但是,SA 可能会确定可以从额外学术支持中受益的学生。
