visuospatial
Mental image manipulation
Visuospatial describes mental processes involving the perception and manipulation of visual information in space.
Visuospatial skills let you read maps, pack a car trunk efficiently, or mentally rotate an object to see how it would look from another angle.
The test measured visuospatial reasoning.
Common in psychology and neuroscience.
