Influence of spatial abilities on primary and secondary space telerobotics operator performance
… is believed to correlate with 3 subcomponents of spatial intelligence: spatial visualization (SV), mental rotation (MR) and perspective taking (PT). In particular, PT (the ability to imagine an object from another viewpoint) is thought to be important for integrating camera views. Two experiments …

The effects of map type and availability on performance with hypermedia
… application and (2) the effects of the subjects' spatial abilities on their performance with hypermedia. The results reveal that there is generally no difference between the subjects' performance with a map and performance without a map. In addition, users who had to navigate using the links …

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 …

Mini-Maps, Crucial or Controversial: Assessing the Influence of Perceived Spatial Orientation and Cognitive Mapping Performance on Video Game User Experience
… is limited, however, is the relationship between spatial cognition, specifically the domains of spatial orientation and cognitive mapping and their effects on video game user experience for games employing visual navigational aids. Video game user experience is influenced by many factors such as …

Investigating the relationship of verbal span and spatial span in a combination task
… the Corsi Block Task, a commonly used measure of spatial working memory, will be altered to include verbal information (colors). One hundred subjects completed the following typically used cognitive tasks to observe the relationship between verbal abilities in working memory and spatial abilities …

Tactile, spatial interfaces for computer-aided design : superimposing physical media and computation
… interface to CAD, because it lacks tactile and spatial qualities. Interacting with physical media such as paper, cardboard, and clay is a multisensory, spatial experience. Interacting in a GUI may be visual, but our other senses and spatial abilities remain underutilized. Recent interface design …

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 …

Investigation of customized refresher training for telerobotic operations in long-duration spaceflight
… dimensions. We also found metrics of a subject's spatial abilities (MRT and PTA, with p-values <0.005) predicted performance and retention in procedurally complex tasks. Spatial ability had more effect on the control group's retention than those who received customized retraining. Results of this …
