Development of effective 3D digital models for first‐time learners of musculoskeletal anatomy
Abstract Musculoskeletal anatomy is a critical component of allied health curricula. With the ubiquity of technology in the classroom and the recent COVID‐19 pandemic creating accessibility barriers for students, there is a need for viable digital resources to enhance learning by supplementing traditional textbook studying.

Show Me the Brain!!: A modern approach to neuroanatomy education
Abstract Show Me the Brain!! (SMtB) is a digital system for interactive graphics that is designed to support instruction in neuroanatomy and neuroscience. It will soon be made open‐source and freely available. SMtB bridges medical and traditional neuroanatomy instruction with the computational systems and representational conventions common in ...

Immersive virtual reality as a teaching tool in neuroanatomy: A scoping review
Abstract Basic core courses in various undergraduate programs, such as neuroanatomy, pose a challenge for students due to the large volume and complexity of the content. In this context, educational technologies such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which allow students to actively interact with learning materials, offer a complementary pedagogical ...

Using a touch screen paradigm to assess the development of mental rotation between 3½ and 5½ years of age [PDF]
Mental rotation is an important spatial skill. However, there is controversy concerning its early development and susceptibility to intervention. In the present study, we assessed individual differences in the mental rotation abilities of children ...

‘Mental rotation’, pictured rotation, and tandem rotation in depth
Abstract The mental rotation effect in depth is qualitatively different from mental rotation in the picture plane. The magnitude of angular difference in depth that is depicted between two static shapes has been thought to predict mean response time for same-different comparisons on shapes in the mental rotation effect.

Integrating yoga into anatomy and clinical medicine education: A holistic approach to learning
Abstract Anatomical knowledge is fundamental for success in clinical settings. Unfortunately, anatomy education within professional health programs has experienced a continual decrease in contact hours and curricular content over the previous two decades, leading to deficits and potential gaps in anatomical science knowledge.

Cooperative learning in anatomy: Comparing virtual avatars and human specimens
Abstract Contemporary research demonstrated that undergraduate medical students rated an augmented reality learning tool entitled “human muscular arm avatar” as useful for their self‐directed individual learning. Beyond this subjective assessment, it was largely unknown whether avatar‐based study would also improve knowledge test scores at an objective
