Geometry education has proven as one powerful means of improving spatial abilities, an
important component of human intelligence. In the first part of this paper we summarize our …

In this review, a new model that is grounded in information-processing theory is proposed to
account for gender differences in spatial ability. The proposed model assumes that the …

The Cattell–Horn–Carroll theory of cognitive abilities (CHC theory) is a comprehensive
taxonomy of abilities embedded in multiple overlapping theories of cognition. Like all good …

This article describes the development and validation of a newly designed instrument for
measuring the spatial ability of middle school students (11-13 years old). The design of the …

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR--overlaying virtual objects onto the real world)
offer interesting and wide spread possibilities to study different components of human …

Spatial abilities refer to the cognitive processes involved in locating targets in space,
perceiving distance and directional relationships, and mentally transforming objects with …

We present an augmented reality application for mechanics education. It utilizes a recent
physics engine developed for the PC gaming market to simulate physical experiments in the …

A major debate in the mental-rotation literature concerns the question of whether objects are
represented holistically during rotation. Effects of object complexity on rotational speed are …

Through five waves of data collection, this longitudinal study investigated the development
of spatial skills in 304 elementary school children (Mage= 7.64 years) as they progressed …

A virtual version of the reorientation task was employed to test new behavioral measures of
navigation strategies and spatial confidence within a gender-fair assessment approach. The …
