A dissociation between object manipulation spatial ability and spatial orientation ability [PDF]
Memory and Cognition, 2001 We developed psychometric tests of spatial orientation ability, in which people are shown a two-dimensional array of objects, imagine taking a perspective within the array, and indicate the direction to a target object from this perspective.

How 2.5D Maps Design Improve the Wayfinding Performance and Spatial Ability of Map Users
Informatics, 2021 Useful information can be provided by 2.5D maps that can take advantage of the additional dimension. However, aside from stereoscopic landmarks, optimal methods for presenting other essential information is unclear.

Spatial ability and throwing accuracy [PDF]
Behavior Genetics, 1983 Significant correlations were found between several tests of throwing accuracy and spatial ability. This replicates an earlier finding and supports the hypothesis that past selection acting on hunting skills in males may partly account for the superior spatial ability observed in males today.
