It is called "kinesthesia", which is important in playing musical instruments, sports, flying aircraft, etc. With respect to flying, pilots trained by Army (navy, airforce) develop these skills far better than those directly recruited by carriers from colleges. We can see those results in some fatal crashes (Air France 447, Asiana 214). I am not blaming the pilots. When one flies with the aid of machines (fly by wire, simulators), one doesn't develop the kinesthesia required to get out of tricky situations(when instruments don't work or when instruments misread, etc).
