The comparison between mental maze function and bilateral nerve transmission learning (based on the mirror drawing test) on good and poor audiovisual memory of students

Aim:Nowadays, measuring learning skills in perceptual-motor field is a practical approach to a better understanding of brain processes. The present research was done to compare the mental maze function and bilateral nerve transmission learning (based on the mirror drawing test) on good and poor audiovisual memory of students. This study was casual-comparative with multistage cluster sampling. Accordingly, 180 male students of Urmia University were selected (90 people in each group of good and poor audiovisual memory). Peterson mental maze, motor learning test (mirror-drawing) and visual and verbal index of revised form of Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-R) were used to gather data. Findings:The results of Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) by controlling variables of education, age and gender showed that the error and time average of mirror-drawing in the group with good audiovisual memory were less than the group with poor memory. Also the average error in mental maze in the group with good audiovisual memory were less than the group with poor memory (p It can be concluded that those with good audiovisual memory have better reaction in brain bilateral transfer of learning tasks (tasks in coordination with both hands and the interaction of cognitive function of the brain hemisphere) and they were drawing in the mirror with less time and fewer errors. Also they have better skills in spatial memory which is in charge with storing information in environment and spatial orientation.
