Relation of visuospatial and analytical skills and span of short-term memory to academic achievement in high school geometry
… and span of short-term memory to achievement in geometry. In addition, major subfactors of visuospatial ability (visualization, speeded rotations, spatial orientation, and disembedding) were assessed to determine which were significant predictors of geometry achievement. Vernon's (1965) model of …
