Complex Spatial Skills: The Link Between Visualization and Creativity
… to determine if there is a correlation between spatial skills and creativity in interior design students. Participants were subjects who took a visualization assessment and created the 33 projects used in the study, and 11 judges, professional design experts who rated the projects. The sample of …

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 …

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. …

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 …
