Assessment of First-Year Engineering Students' Spatial Visualization Skills
… undertaken to investigate the assessment of the spatial visualization skills of first-year engineering students. This research was conducted through three approaches: (1) a review of cogent research framed by a spatial visualization matrix, (2) the development and validation of an Engineering …

Computer detection of spatial visualization in a location-based task
… characteristics. One such characteristic, spatial visualization ability, relates to users’ computer performance. In this dissertation, we describe a novel, behavior-based, spatial visualization detection technique. The technique does not depend on sensors or knowledge of the environment and …

Influence of spatial orientation and spatial visualization abilities on space teleoperation performance
… correlate with two known subcomponents of spatial intelligence: perspective-taking (PT) and spatial visualization (SV). A preliminary study [1] supports this hypothesis. We believe astronauts use PT (the ability to imagine an object from a different viewpoint) to integrate camera …

Development of CAD Platform Independent Software for Automatic Grading of Technical Drawings
Spatial visualization is the ability of an individual to visualize an object mentally and understand its spatial orientation. It plays an important role in engineering. There have been multiple works that show that spatial visualization skills can be improved with the right training. Creating …

The Effects of Item Grouping on Test Reliability
… ability, basic computation, number series, and spatial visualization) were prepared. Form A consisted of items grouped by construct, and Form B had items dispersed randomly throughout the test. The order of items within a construct remained the same for both forms. Tests were administered to 186 …

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 …
