Spatial ability is a bit of a fuzzy concept. There are lots of different tests that can be used to assess it, like mentally rotating a 3D shape or reasoning out how a mechanical object would work. Are ...

Young children who practice visual working memory and reasoning tasks improve their math skills more than children who focus on spatial rotation exercises, according to a large study. The findings ...

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education initiatives have placed pressure on teachers to bring technology tools into classroom, including three-dimensional (3D) printing. Yet ...

It’s pretty easy to link humans’ intelligence to our success as a species. Things like agriculture, building cities, and surviving in harsh environments require a large collection of mental skills, ...

Men consistently outperform women on spatial tasks, including mental rotation, which is the ability to identify how a 3-D object would appear if rotated in space. Now, a University of Iowa study shows ...
