METHOD FOR TRAINING OF HUMAN SPATIAL CAPABILITIES Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: psychology. SUBSTANCE: before training, use is made of special tests to estimate the level of development of trainee spatial capabilities. During the first day, phonomeasurement of quality of accomplishment of test tasks and exercises by the trainee is made.
