A dissociation between object manipulation spatial ability and spatial orientation ability [PDF]

open access: yesMemory 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.

Spatial ability and throwing accuracy [PDF]

open access: yesBehavior 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.

Handedness and Spatial Ability

open access: yesCortex, 1982
Data from a large-scale study of cognitive abilities were used to test the hypothesis that there are handedness-related differences in spatial visualization. The spatial factor score of the cognitive test battery provided a measure of spatial visualization.

Effects of spatial ability on multi-robot control tasks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Working with large teams of robots is a very complex and demanding task for any operator and individual differences in spatial ability could significantly affect that performance.

Saccade learning with concurrent cortical and subcortical basal ganglia loops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Basal Ganglia is a central structure involved in multiple cortical and subcortical loops. Some of these loops are believed to be responsible for saccade target selection.

Subsurface Raman Imaging with Nanoscale Resolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We report on chemically specific, subsurface imaging with high spatial resolution. Using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, we probe carbon nanotubes buried beneath a host dielectric media. We demonstrate our ability to map and resolve specific vibrational

Visuo-spatial abilities in chess players [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The extent to which the acquisition of expertise in knowledge-rich domains, such as chess, can be influenced by general individual characteristics, such as intelligence, has remained unclear.

Spatial heterogeneity enhances and modulates excitability in a mathematical model of the myometrium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The muscular layer of the uterus (myometrium) undergoes profound changes in global excitability prior to parturition. Here, a mathematical model of the myocyte network is developed to investigate the hypothesis that spatial heterogeneity is essential to ...

Evidence for unusual spatial location coding in Williams syndrome: An explanation for the local bias in visuo-spatial construction tasks? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) display poor visuo-spatial cognition relative to verbal abilities. Furthermore, whilst perceptual abilities are delayed, visuo-spatial construction abilities are comparatively even weaker, and are characterised by ...

Historical Evolution of Spatial Abilities [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioural Neurology, 1993
Historical evolution and cross-cultural differences in spatial abilities are analyzed. Spatial abilities have been found to be significantly associated with the complexity of geographical conditions and survival demands. Although impaired spatial cognition is found in cases of, exclusively or predominantly, right hemisphere pathology, it is proposed ...
