It depends a lot on the context. But we can break it down a little.
'Discrimination' is telling one thing from another. This can be either good or bad, depending on whether it's something you want to have happen or not. So 'spatial discrimination' would be telling things apart through or because of space.
Someone might talk about the ability of your skin to spatially discriminate, which would refer to how far apart objects have to be before you feel them as two objects. Or we might say that a TV-watcher is discriminating spatially if he only eats snacks within arms'-reach and won't go to the kitchen to get more: which snacks he eats depends on their location in space.
Hope that helps!
