Spatial Ability and Learning to Program [PDF]
Human Technology: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Humans in ICT Environments, 2008 Results in introductory computer programming modules are often disappointing, and various individual differences have been found to be relevant. This paper reviews work in this area, with particular reference to the effect of a student's spatial ability. Data is presented on a cohort of 49 students enrolled on an MSc in Information Technology course at
