| pubmed-article:998651 | pubmed:abstractText | Psychomotor ability is a neglected component of student clinical evaluation in the laboratory setting. This paper describes development of an experimental psychomotor test battery containing mechanical comprehension, spatial perception, and manual dexterity subscales. A small sample of MLT and MT students constituted the study population used to determine interrelationships among the subscales. Pearson product moment correlations and factor analysis suggest isolation of hand-eye motor and perception-intelligence psychomotor components in the battery. Clinical laboratory implications of the findings are discussed. | lld:pubmed |
