It IS possible to decode IKEA instructions, claim scientists: Spatial skills like reading maps and 3D design can be learned https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2179193/You-CAN-stop-Ikea-instructions-driving-Knutstorp-Spacial-awareness-skill-like--learnt.html

• Spatial skills can be learned by people of any age

• Practice helps - but 3D videogames are also useful

Spatial skills - like reading maps and assembling Ikea chests of drawers - are a skill that can be learned.

Previously, it had been believed that some spatial skills couldn't be trained.

The news may not be welcome to those who shirk such chores saying they 'just can't' read instructions or maps.
