      ab: Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the Visual Spatial Relationship and Processing Speed of students in first and tenth semesters of Architecture and Law of the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes. Methods: The PMA (Primary Mental Abilities) test was implemented for Visual Spatial Relationship and Processing Speed to 80 students. Results: Architecture students have better-developed Visual Spatial Relationship and Processing Speed than Law students. Architecture students in the tenth semester showed better results than those in the first semester. The t-test showed that there is a statistically significant difference of Visual Spatial Relationship (p=0.03) and Processing Speed between the students of Architecture and Law (p=0.00). Conclusion: The students of Architecture presented a better performance in Visual Spatial Relationship and Processing Speed throughout their university studies in comparison to Law students. Students of Architecture and Law develop VSR and PS throughout their career. At the beginning of each career, both VSR and PS are equally developed in students. Considering VSR as a quality index for professional practice, it is evident that it is an important ability for the architect. Without a doubt, VSR and PS are significant abilities in Architecture and law.
