Supporting spatial skill learning with gesture-based embodied interaction
Prior research has revealed that spatial abilities are crucial for STEM achievement and attainment. The connection between the digital and physical worlds provided by embodied interaction has been shown to enhance performance and engagement in educational contexts. Spatial reasoning is a domain …

A data-driven, player-centric approach to designing spatial skill training video games
"Spatial skills are a subset of cognitive skills essential to success in many different STEM fields, including engineering, chemistry, geology, and computer science [1, 2]. Those with low spatial skill often struggle in introductory college-level STEM coursework and drop out of STEM majors. …

UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURE AND CORRELATES OF NON-RIGID SPATIAL SKILLS
… 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) recruited through Prolific completed a 73-item knot reasoning task. Using Item Response Theory, we tested the reliability of the measure …

Characterizing the use of spatial reasoning skills in introductory chemistry instructor's materials
Undergraduate chemistry students require spatial reasoning skills to interpret static images of molecular and electronic structure, particularly when encountering new molecular concepts. Prior literature has established that spatial reasoning is an important indicator for success in chemistry, yet …

Cognitive and Non-cognitive Predictors of Norm-Referenced and Everyday Math Performance in Community College Students
… outcomes, including language, working memory, spatial ability, math anxiety, and self-efficacy. While many studies have looked at these factors separately, few have examined how such skills work together to predict math. Additionally, most prior work focuses on children or university students, …
