Andrew S. Deane; Kelsey T. Byers – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
3D scanning and printing technologies are quickly evolving and offer great potential for use in gross anatomical education. The use of human body donors to create digital scans and 3D printed models raises ethical concerns about donor informed consent, potential commodification, and access to and storage of potentially identifiable anatomical…

Spatial Abilities Training in Anatomy Education: A Systematic Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Langlois, Jean; Bellemare, Christian; Toulouse, Josée; Wells, George A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Spatial abilities have been correlated to anatomy knowledge assessment and spatial training has been found to improve spatial abilities in previous systematic reviews. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate spatial abilities training in anatomy education. A literature search was done from inception to 3 August 2017 in Scopus® and…

Langlois, Jean; Bellemare, Christian; Toulouse, Josée; Wells, George A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2017
Anatomy knowledge has been found to include both spatial and non-spatial components. However, no systematic evaluation of studies relating spatial abilities and anatomy knowledge has been undertaken. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the relationship between spatial abilities test and anatomy knowledge assessment. A…

Yammine, Kaissar; Violato, Claudio – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2016
There are various educational methods used in anatomy teaching. While three dimensional (3D) visualization technologies are gaining ground due to their ever-increasing realism, reports investigating physical models as a low-cost 3D traditional method are still the subject of considerable interest. The aim of this meta-analysis is to quantitatively…

Hackett, Matthew; Proctor, Michael – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2016
Anatomy is a foundational component of biological sciences and medical education and is important for a variety of clinical tasks. To augment current curriculum and improve students' spatial knowledge of anatomy, many educators, anatomists, and researchers use three-dimensional (3D) visualization technologies. This article reviews 3D display…

The Significance of Visual Information Processing in Reading: Insights from Hemianopic Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Schuett, Susanne; Heywood, Charles A.; Kentridge, Robert W.; Zihl, Josef – Neuropsychologia, 2008
We present the first comprehensive review of research into hemianopic dyslexia since Mauthner's original description of 1881. We offer an explanation of the reading impairment in patients with unilateral homonymous visual field disorders and clarify its functional and anatomical bases. The major focus of our review is on visual information…
