Gender differences in spatial aptitude are well established by adulthood, particularly when
measured by tasks that require the mental rotation of objects (Linn & Petersen, 1985; Voyer …

Much recent research has focused on the relation between spatial skills and mathematical
skills, which has resulted in widely reported links between these two skill sets. However, the …

Because math knowledge begins to develop at a young age to varying degrees, it is
important to identify foundational cognitive and academic skills that might contribute to its …

Early mathematics achievement is highly predictive of later mathematics performance. Here
we investigated the influence of executive function (EF) and spatial skills, two generalizable …

This study describes the implementation and effects of a 32-week teacher-led spatial
reasoning intervention in K–2 classrooms. The intervention targeted spatial visualization …

The goal of the current study is to develop a more complete understanding of the early home
math environment, encompassing both numeracy and non-numeracy aspects of that …

It is well established that early general language during preschool is critical for children's
mathematical abilities. In an attempt to further characterize this association between …

Although several investigations of spatial reasoning and mental rotation skills have been
conducted in research areas linked to STEM education, to the best of our knowledge, few of …

Research Findings: Children from families of lower socioeconomic status (SES) enter
kindergarten with less developed mathematical knowledge compared to children from …

Strong spatial skills are associated with success in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) domains. Although there is convincing evidence that spatial skills are a …
