Gender differences in spatial ability within virtual reality
… Virtual Reality (VR) are due purely to innate spatial ability differences or due to, at least in part, environmental factors. Examination of the differences, as a function of virtual or real training environments, is important to understanding what can be accomplished with virtual environments …

Using 3D Printing as an Instructional Tool to Improve Spatial Ability
… over the past 20 years have shown how important spatial ability is in predicting the tendency towards the STEM fields and also in creative production. Early attention to developing children’s spatial ability increases their achievement in math and science, and even nudges them towards STEM …

Spatial ability and handedness as potential predictors of space teleoperation performance
… 1 determined whether scores on tests of spatial skills could predict performance when selecting camera views for a simulated teleoperation task. The hypothesis was that subjects with high spatial ability would perform camera selection tasks more quickly and accurately than those with …

Investigation of visual spatial ability and its relation to design methods
… a significant correlation exists between visual spatial ability and the construction of both two and three dimensional models and previous experience using the skills involved in these two subset subject areas of engineering prototype design. Mechanical engineering undergraduate seniors were …

Spatial Orientation Training in Virtual Reality: Designing for Cognitive Load and Spatial Ability
This dissertation advanced the understanding of spatial orientation in VR training by applying cognitive load theory in connection to visuospatial working memory across three related studies. Study 1 used eye-tracking during two spatial tasks (object-based rotation via Purdue Spatial Visualization …

Decision making in a decision support systems environment: an evaluation of spatial ability and task structure
… for this variation is that individual’s spatial ability has a moderating effect on performance. Another factor found to impact decision performance is the structure of the task. The purpose of this study is to determine whether spatial ability factors have a moderating effect on decision …

The Effects Of Video Frame Delay And Spatial Ability On The Operation Of Multiple Semiautonomous And Tele-operated Robots
… prediction was that operators with high spatial ability would perform better than those with low spatial ability, especially when operating an aerial vehicle. The results can not confirm that frame delay has a positive effect on operator performance, though power may have been an issue, …

Individual Differences in Verbal and Spatial Memory: The Contribution of Gender, Verbal Ability, Spatial Ability, and Sex-Role Orientation
… to which reported sex differences in verbal and spatial memory performance are due to confounds between the sexes on the individual difference factors of verbal ability, spatial ability, and sex-role orientation. Specifically, college age males and females were administered psychometric tests of …

The coloured cube test and the coloured mental rotation test: two new measures of spatial ability and mental rotation
This research introduces two new measures of mental rotation (MR) for 4- to 11-year-old children. Instead of the complex achromatic three-dimensional (3D) cube aggregates used with adults (Shepard & Metzler, 1971), or the flat two-dimensional animals used with children (Quaiser-Pohl, 2003), the new …

Building a model of "spatial ability" : an analysis of grade 5 and 6 learners' strategies for solving "spatial" activities
This study explores the notion of "spatial ability" from the perspective of mathematics education. A review of the literature on "spatial ability" is used to compile a preliminary model of the phenomenon. Certain questions related to interaction in space arising from the literature review are noted …

The effects of 3-dimensional CADD modeling software on the development of the spatial ability of ninth grade technology discovery students
… if there is a difference in the development of spatial abilities of ninth grade Technology Discovery students in Mississippi as measured by the Purdue Visualization of Rotations Test. Students experienced one of three differing instructional methods utilizing Pro/Desktop® 3-D CADD solid modeling …

The Impact Of Mental Transformation Training Across Levels Of Automation On Spatial Awareness In Human-robot Interaction
One of the problems affecting robot operators' spatial awareness involves their ability to infer a robot's location based on the views from on-board cameras and other electro-optic systems. To understand the vehicle's location, operators typically need to translate images from a vehicle's camera …

Visualizing the Invisible: Generating Explanations of Scientific Phenomena
… learning assessed by a post-test. Participants' spatial ability was also assessed as spatial ability often correlates with learning science. For the verbal explaining of a mechanical system, the bicycle tire pump, high spatial participants performed better than low spatial participants. However, …

Frame of Reference and Navigation Through Document Visualizations
The data revealed a strong influence of spatial ability on performance, suggesting that information navigation is more difficult for those with lower spatial ability. Tool and strategy choice likely played a role in the high variability observed in the data, but the flexibility allowed subjects in …
