Is this learned behavior?

I think it relates to cognition; the way your brain works and the way your brain is constructed to think. Intelligence is just one component that could cause this sort of ability, but of course, this could also be learned behavior that is related to something in childhood that caused them to have the ability to properly place objects in their right place!

Well almost everything we do is learned. Although I wouldn't call it "learned behavior". Some catch on to things pretty quick and can eyeball a tile the minute you hand it to them. Others either aren't too focused, or have other things on their mind, or simply haven't trained themselves to eyeball them.

After a while, people can start to eyeball things -- if they're doing it for quite some time.

I suppose that if a person is fast at learning, they're more intelligent in the cerebrum part of their brain. I wouldn't call it psychological, I simply think they were more challenged as kids when it comes to problem solving/matching. I remember kids in kindergarten (when i was in kindergarten) whenever we had a matching assignment it took them longer than the rest of us, some got almost all of their answers wrong.. but since we were all young, those kids learned.

Some people seem to be born with more eye-hand coordination with others, just like some can be born with more imagination or intuition or poetic ability. But at the same time, people can learn such things. So I think it is both, and for any given person, who knows? And, there is not cut and dry answer that it's one thing or the other always.

Interesting question, very interesting. I have a thought that might be reverent and that is that perhaps the people who had trouble fitting the tile in the proper place might have had a mild form of dyslexia..This is a guess.

I don't think its an ability they are born with BUT I think some are born smarter than others and they are the ones who can do the job. Intelligence works every time.

All learned behavior is remembered.
