A testing mechanism is needed for reliably predicting students' problems in acquiring dental psychomotor skills. Students and dental educators could then be made aware of potential problems well in advance of required manual course work. Because testing for stereoscopic vision has long been a part of perceptual-motor ability screening for the U.S. Air Force, a similar stereopsis test was used to examine the role of stereopsis in dental psychomotor learning and its potential as a predictor of student performance. The Lameris TNO Test for stereoscopic vision was given as an adjunct to the Perceptual Ability (PAT/3D) portion of the Dental Admission Test. Both test results were then compared to freshman students' performance in preclinical operative dentistry. Multiple regression analyses indicated that a high degree of stereopsis was not a prerequisite for success in acquiring dental psychomotor skills.
需要一种测试机制来可靠地预测学生在获取牙科心理运动技能方面的问题。这样，学生和牙科教育工作者就可以在需要进行手工课程作业之前很早就意识到潜在问题。由于长期以来，立体视觉测试一直是美国空军感知运动能力筛查的一部分，因此采用了类似的立体视觉测试来研究立体视觉在牙科心理运动学习中的作用及其作为学生表现预测指标的潜力。Lameris TNO立体视觉测试作为牙科入学考试感知能力（PAT/3D）部分的辅助测试。然后将这两项测试结果与新生在临床前口腔手术中的表现进行比较。多元回归分析表明，高度的立体视觉并非获取牙科心理运动技能成功的先决条件。
