How 2.5D Maps Design Improve the Wayfinding Performance and Spatial Ability of Map Users

open access: yesInformatics, 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.

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.

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 ...

Effectiveness of Computer-Generated Virtual Reality (VR) in Learning and Teaching Environments with Spatial Frameworks

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
In this paper, we highlight the benefits of using computer-generated VR in teaching instructional content that have spatial frameworks such as in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. Spatial ability scores were collected from

Spatial ability and throwing accuracy [PDF]

open access: yesBehavior Genetics, 1983
Significant correlations have been 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.

Manual spatial ability is the main Mediator of sex differences in multitasking performance

open access: yesSocial Sciences and Humanities Open
Women are often portrayed as superior multitaskers, yet empirical findings are mixed and studies in operational context– with potential mediators measured– remain limited.

The Effects of Display Parameters and Devices on Spatial Ability Test Times

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The effects of display parameters and devices are examined on spatial ability test times in virtual environments. Before the investigation, completion times of 240 and 61 students were measured, using an LG desktop display and the Gear VR, respectively ...

Investigating the STEM Teacher Professional Development and Learning Path Towards Changes in Student Spatial Ability

open access: yesEducation Sciences
Educational reforms increasingly require teachers to implement innovations, yet these efforts often remain unsustainable. Effective implementation is closely tied to continuous professional development and learning (CPDL).

Does technical drawing increase students’ mental rotation ability?

open access: yesCogent Education, 2018
In this article, we examined whether technical drawing increased the mental rotation ability in 13- to 15-year-old students (N = 201). Students were pretested with the Mental Rotations Test. Later, a group of students was exposed to technical drawing for
