The Impact of Spatial Ability on Learning with a 3D Stereoscopic Model of the Mediastinum

Three‐dimensional (3D) stereoscopic anatomy models have shown success in demonstrating complex spatial anatomical relationships. However, there is conflicting evidence as to whether or not such models are beneficial for students with low spatial visualization ability (Vz). A previous study suggests that students with low Vz may be hindered by the complex spatial cues provided by a 3D stereoscopic resource compared to students with high Vz. This...
