Training Spatial Skills in Men and Women
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2014Recent studies suggest that even short-term video game training may transfer to other cognitive tasks. With the popularity of the Nintendo Wii with women, more of them might be exposed to the games that will increase their mental rotation skills. Because performance on mental rotation tests (MRT) has been linked to math performance in women, and thus ...

Spatial Skills Training in Introductory Computing
Proceedings of the eleventh annual International Conference on International Computing Education Research, 2015This paper explores the question as to whether there is a relationship between a student's spatial abilities and her achievement in learning to program. After noting that there does seem to be a correlation, the paper explores the impact of trying to improve a student's spatial abilities.

Various Spatial Skills, Gender Differences, and Transferability of Spatial Skills
2016This chapter attempts to clarify the conceptual distinctions among terms that have been used interchangeably or generically in referring to a constellation of loosely defined spatial skills. In the first part of this chapter, distinctions between small-scale and large-scale spatial skills are elucidated, followed by clarifications of the conceptual ...

Skill learning using temporal and spatial entropies for accurate skill acquisition
2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2013In manipulation tasks, skills are usually modeled using the continuous motion trajectories acquired in the task space. The motion trajectories obtained from a human's multiple demonstrations can be broadly divided into four portions, according to the spatial variations between the demonstrations and the time spent in the demonstrations: the portions in

Locomotor Status and the Development of Spatial Search Skills
Child Development, 1992The principal objective of this experiment was to investigate whether previous reports of a relation between locomotor status and stage 4 object permanence performance generalized to performance on a different object localization task. A secondary objective was to evaluate the contribution of visual tracking as a mediating variable in the relation ...

A Gestural Interface for Practicing Children's Spatial Skills
Companion Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces, 2017We present a novel gestural interface for an educational 3D construction game that helps children practice and learn spatial reasoning skills. Previous research shows that having well-developed spatial reasoning skills is crucial to the success in the STEM fields. Our game requires the player to create a number of 3D target objects by moving, rotating,

Training Spatial Skills in Geosciences
2016Abstract Characterizing spatial thinking and the development of spatial expertise is essential to understanding how to train geoscientists to succeed in both academia and industry. The Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center has supported an eight-year-long collaborative research program, which brings together disciplinary expertise in ...

The Skills Behind the Spatial Practices
Space and Culture, 2019This paper offers a theoretical investigation about the notion of “skills“ within a geographical approach. For spatial practices, the challenge is probably less about understanding what individuals do than their ways of doing. Building on an empirical survey about the tourists practices in Los Angeles, the paper first supports the idea that each ...

Intelligent critiquing and tutoring of spatial reasoning skills
Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing, 1996AbstractThe ability to reason spatially is an important skill required for engineers, particularly in engineering design and construction. One aspect of spatial reasoning is visualizing and constructing three-dimensional (3D) solid objects from two-dimensional (2D) projections.
