Visuospatial ability

Not to be confused with Visual thinking or Spatial–temporal reasoning.

Visuospatial ability or visual-spatial ability is the ability to mentally manipulate 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional figures. It is typically measured with simple cognitive tests and is predictive of user performance with some kinds of user interfaces. Visuospatial skills are needed for motor coordination (directed movement), depth and distance perception, and spatial navigation.
