In this review, we propose that fiber arts–a wide array of practices that use string, yarn, and
fabric to create functional and fine art textiles–present a novel avenue to both explore basic …

Sequence stratigraphic interpretation and three-dimensional spatial and spatiotemporal
skills are considered important for the petroleum industry. However, little is known about the …

This study was grounded in the spatial computational thinking model developed by the 3D
Weather project funded by the NSF STEM+ C program. The model reflects a discipline …

Meteorologists have been interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)
education endeavors for many years. The present study's authors recently observed an …

Objective Developing and validating a novel domain-agnostic, computer-based training tool
for enhancing 2D cross-section understanding of complex 3D structures. Background …

Here, we describe archival data analysis from a recent paper (Bolton et al., 2022) on the
development of a self-report measure of epistemic, or information-based, weather curiosity …

Disembedding, or recognizing patterns in a distracting background, is a spatial thinking skill
that is particularly relevant to the interpretation of meteorological surface and upper-air …

Abstract The Fundamentals in Meteorology Inventory (FMI) concept inventory exam was
recently developed to gauge understanding of fundamental meteorological concepts among …

We developed and tested a novel measure of non-rigid, ductile spatial skill using knot
reasoning. In Study 1, 279 US adults (M= 30.90 SD= 5.47 years; 76% White, 48% women) …

AbstractSpatial thinking describes how we find meaning in the shape, size, orientation, or
