A longitudinal study of spatial ability
Behavior Genetics, 1975A number of studies have lent support to the sex-linked major gene theory of spatial ability. Expectations arising from this theory (although not necessarily unique to it) are that spatial ability can be measured in children, that it is the same as spatial ability in adults, and that an individual's position in a distribution of spatial ability remains

Spatial Aptitude and Permutational Ability
The Journal of Psychology, 1975The relationship between spatial aptitude and the ability to permute letters and numbers was investigated by presenting the Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board (MPFB), a letter rearrangement test (LRT), and a number rearrangement test (NRT) to two separate samples of college students (N = 94 and N = 53). For every comparison (MPFB vs.

Educational Psychologist, 1984
Spatial ability is discussed in terms of psychometric factors and information processing research. Reanalysis of major psychometric studies suggests two major spatial factors — spatial relations and spatial visualization ability. Apparent differences between these factors in speed versus power and cognitive complexity are verified by process analyses ...

Assessment of Spatial Abilities
1998Analyzing and understanding spatial ability is a complex enterprise. By way of illustration, consider the following daily life activities that contain a spatial aspect: parallel parking an automobile, rearranging living room furniture, reading a blueprint, giving directions to a lost traveler, deciphering the instructions that accompany an item that ...

Visual-spatial abilities of pilots.
Journal of Applied Psychology, 1993U.S. Air Force pilots and control subjects participated in five experiments, each of which assessed a different type of visual–spatial ability. Although pilots judged metric spatial relations better than did nonpilots, they did not judge categorical spatial relations better than did nonpilots.

Searching for Correlates of Spatial Ability
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1985A brief questionnaire about sense of direction and mechanical experience correlated with Mental Rotation scores. Several new, experimental measures thought to be related to spatial ability did not in fact correlate with Mental Rotation scores.

Spatial ability and transformational geometry [PDF]
European Journal of Psychology of Education, 1999 New technologies in education are placing more emphasis upon visual and spatial skills, those required to inspect, encode, transform, and construct information in visual displays. They do this by presenting students with learning material embedded in complex visual displays and hypermedia, and by requiring students to navigate through virtual space ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the spatial abilities. Two qualitative spatial systems exist. The classical geniculostriate pathway is suited for relative, retinotopic space. A second pathway involves the pulvinar and possibly the superior colliculus and appears to be involved in orienting the organism in relation to objects.

The Complex Figure Test was designed by Rey (1941) to assess visual perception and visual memory in brain-damaged subjects. In 1944, Osterrieth administered the Rey figure to 230 children ranging in age from 4 to 15 years old and to 60 adults between 16 and 60 years old (Lezak, 1983). In 1969, Taylor made an alternative figure to be used for retesting (
