Learning anatomy enhances spatial ability
Anatomical Sciences Education, 2013Spatial ability is an important factor in learning anatomy. Students with high scores on a mental rotation test (MRT) systematically score higher on anatomy examinations. This study aims to investigate if learning anatomy also oppositely improves the MRT‐score.

Three areas of theory and research related to spatial cognition are reviewed and their integration is discussed. These include factor analysis of spatial ability, information processing theories of spatial cognition, and developmental changes in spatial processing.

Cerebral lateralization and spatial ability
Behavior Genetics, 1976Frequencies of three cerebral dominance genotypes who show right or left ear superiority on a verbal dichotic listening test and left or right field superiority on a tachistoscopic lateral field test of perceptual dominance are deduced. A hypothesis is offered relating direction of cerebral dominance, as defined by genotype, to degree of lateral ...

Sex differences in spatial ability and spatial activities
Sex Roles, 1983Explanations of sex-related differences in spatial ability emphasizing the role of sex-differentiated experience have not been supported by direct measurement of spatial activities during adolescence, the period when these differences seem to increase. The present research involved development of a scale to measure the spatial experience of adolescents

The ability to create a mental image of an object and then to manipulate it mentally has significant practical application in fields such as mathematics, physics, architecture, engineering and design. It is documented that success in these fields is highly predicted by one’s ability to visualize and manipulate objects (e.g. Ghiselli, 1966).

A TWIN STUDY OF SPATIAL ABILITY
Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1969A battery of spatial visualization land form percepthn plus some tests of arithmetic, vocabulary and social perception has been administered to 274 pairs of identical and 198 pairs of frabmal twins. To assess the importance of hereditary components in the individual differences observed, the within pair variance for fraternal paim was compared with the

It is proposed that Homo sapiens’ biological adaptation was accomplished to survive under the environmental conditions that existed during the Paleolithic time. Recent man’s evolution, to a significant extent, corresponds to a cultural type of evolution, not necessarily requiring further overt biological changes. Strategies used for spatial orientation

Measure of Spatial Orientation Ability
Imagination, Cognition and Personality, 2019The aim of this study was to design a test to measure a person’s ability to orient themselves on a “you are-here” map. The Spatial Orientation Skills Test, a test measuring spatial orientation ability, consists of 30 items, each item contains two maps, one is positioned at 0° (the model), and the other is the same map but amplified and rotated.

Twin study of verbal and spatial abilities
Personality and Individual Differences, 1996The purpose of this study was to perform the first behavioral genetic analysis of specific cognitive abilities in Croatian sample. The analysis was carried out on 71 MZ twin pairs (35 male and 36 female) and 78 dizygotic twin pairs (43 male and 35 female).
