The role of visual-spatial aptitude in accounting coursework
… This study examines the relationship of visual-spatial aptitude (VSA) to student completion and continuing behaviors and to performance in four accounting courses. VSA is a group of cognitive abilities which facilitate building mental representations and solving problems and which are …

Visual-Spatial & Visual-Motor Function in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients
… with resulting difficulty during tasks requiring visual-spatial and visual-motor skills. This study compares the performance of children who received a heart transplant during infancy to that of nonclinical children with no medical complications on three visual-motor measures, three visual-spatial …

Investigation of visual spatial ability and its relation to design methods
… if 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 …

Early Development of Auditory-Verbal and Visual-Spatial Short-Term Memory: Age and Sex Effects
… and the type of material to be remembered (visual/spatial versus auditory/verbal) on the memory processes and memory organization, the recent research with children is rather limited. The present study is a secondary analysis of data, originally collected from 530 typically developing …

Orienting Of Visual-spatial Attention With Augmented Reality: Effects Of Spatial And Non-spatial Multi-modal Cues
… computer generated information and graphics. Visual search tasks are known to be capacity demanding and therefore may be improved by training in an AR environment. During the experimental task, participants searched for enemies (while cued from visual, auditory, tactile, combinations of two, …

Language, thought and deafness : conceptual and methodological issues, with reference to visual-spatial processing, control of attention and sign language
… by examining control of attention and visuo-spatial processing and the relationship of these to language in severely and profoundly prelingually deaf children between the ages of 2 and 6 years, whose primary means of communication is British Sign language (BSL). These were examined using …

Assessing the Effectiveness of an Interval Estimation and a Visual-Spatial Secondary Task as Measures of Mental Workload During Laparoscopy
… specifically a time interval estimation and visual-spatial task, to determine which of these is most appropriate for the assessment of laparoscopic mental workload. Participants performed a peg transfer task in two conditions: a normal camera angle and a 90° camera angle intended to increase …

Does the Presence of a Non-Coincident Visual Spatial Pattern Facilitate Spatial Pattern Learning? Implications for a Dedicated Spatial Pattern Learning System
<p>Spatial pattern learning is defined as an ability to learn spatial relationships of objects in space without the use of discrete visual landmarks or environmental geometry (Brown & Terrinoni, 1996). Spatial pattern learning has been suggested to be a distinct form of learning because it is not …

Comparing the Effects of Mental Workload Between Visual and Auditory Secondary Tasks During Laparoscopy
… performance and subjective workload on a visual-spatial secondary task with an auditory-spatial analog when paired with visual-spatial laparoscopic primary tasks. Two primary tasks were performed with a laparoscopic box trainer: a high workload task that consisted of transferring rings …

Exploring the Relationships Between Children's Working Memory and Long-Term Memory
… working memory (i.e., verbal working memory, visual-spatial working memory, verbal short-term memory, visual-spatial short-term memory, and the central executive) and long-term memory, using standardized assessment tools. The Automated Working Memory Assessment was used to measure working …

Individual differences in frequency and type of gesture production: Relationship to personal characteristics
… personal characteristics including verbal skill, visual-spatial skill and personality. Results showed that the high degrees of variability across and stability within participants were related to only a few personal characteristics with any consistency. Specifically, beat gestures and metaphoric …

Compatibility in the visual field and the use of nontraditional flight displays
Two visual-spatial tasks were time-shared in an experiment to investigate the possibility of a compatibility mapping between the type of task (object-identification or motion-judgment) and the presentation location of the task in the visual field (central or peripheral). The attentional costs …

The effect of early adversity on adult spatial cognition : a functional magnetic resonance imaging study
… control. Little focus has been placed on visualspatial cognition in traumatised individuals, however. The aim of this project, which comprised two studies, was to investigate visual memory and spatial cognition in adult survivors of childhood trauma. Study 1 compared the performance of 23 …

Manipulation of Cognitive Load in Simulation-Based Medical Education
… assessment of cognitive load using a visual analogue scale (VAS), and measurement of the galvanic skin response (GSR) are able to reliably and accurately measure cognitive load during SBME. Five separate experimental conditions are reported, and self-reported VAS and GSR measurements …

Patterns of cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis and their relationship to neuropathology on magnetic resonance imaging
… information processing efficiency, and, often, visual-spatial ability. Whether this pattern applies to the individual with MS is unclear. Due to the disseminated distribution of MS neuropathology, patients may undergo idiosyncratic cognitive changes dependent upon the site of white matter …

Cognitive Structures of Kinesthetic Space Reevaluating Rudolf Laban's Choreutics In the Context of Spatial Cognition and Motor Control
The choreutic conception of the spatial aspect of body movements (originated by Rudolf Laban) was reevaluated according to cognitive and motor control research. "Kinesthetic spatial cognition" (analogous to visual spatial cognition) was identified as the psychological realm of choreutic knowledge. …

The view: a historicised and contemporary socio‐political mediation
… premise of the enquiry is that the ‘view’, is a visual, spatial, and conceptual ideologically political position that shapes our relationship as citizens societally and to public space. The ‘image’ of, and as, a view, and point of view, permeates society. In our contemporary times of …
