A Structural Theory of Spatial Abilities [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Psychological Measurement, 1990
A cylindrical-wedge model is proposed to represent the correlational structure of a variety of spatial ability tests. The model corresponds to the design of the tests' content, according to three facets: (1) type of rule task, (2) dimensionality of the test items, and (3) need to mentally rotate test objects in space.

Study of a MEMS-based Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor with adjustable pupil sampling for astronomical adaptive optics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We introduce a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor for adaptive optics that enables dynamic control of the spatial sampling of an incoming wavefront using a segmented mirror microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS) device.

Using Eye Tracking to Explore Differences in Map-Based Spatial Ability between Geographers and Non-Geographers

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018
In this article, we use eye-tracking methods to analyze the differences in spatial ability between geographers and non-geographers regarding topographic maps, as reflected in the following three aspects: map-based spatial localization, map-based spatial ...

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 ...

Videogame interventions and spatial ability interactions [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Numerous research studies have been conducted on the use of videogames as tools to improve one's cognitive abilities. While meta-analyses and qualitative reviews have provided evidence that some aspects of cognition such as spatial imagery are modified after exposure to videogames, other evidence has shown that matrix reasoning measures of fluid ...

Four-dimensional ultrafast electron microscopy of phase transitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Reported here is direct imaging (and diffraction) by using 4D ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) with combined spatial and temporal resolutions. In the first phase of UEM, it was possible to obtain snapshot images by using timed, single-electron packets;

Relationship between spatial ability, visuospatial working memory and self-assessed spatial orientation ability: a study in older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper describes some novel spatial tasks and questionnaires designed to assess spatial and orientation abilities. The new tasks and questionnaires were administered to a sample of 90 older adults (41 males, age range 57–90), along with some other ...

Math Instrument Development for Examining the Relationship between Spatial and Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills

open access: yesEducation Sciences, 2022
Spatial cognition involves the ability to acquire, organize, and use spatial information in the “mind’s eye.” Numerous correlational studies have demonstrated the strong relationship between spatial cognition and skill in problem-solving in mathematics ...
