Individual differences in spatial thinking are predictive of children's math and science achievement and later entry into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Little is known about whether parent characteristics predict individual differences in children's spatial thinking. This study aims to understand whether,…

John C. Hayvon – Higher Education Research and Development, 2025
Given the role of education in shaping social ideology, there is value in considering how learning spaces affect students' perceptions of inclusivity and social justice. This paper posits that ability as a central focus in education can intersect with marginalization arising from race, gender, class, and indigeneity, towards potential…

Tian, Jing; Koh, Joyce Hwee Ling; Ren, Chang; Wang, Yiheng – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
The technical skills of using geographical information systems (GIS) are often taught in different higher education disciplines apart from geocapabilities or geographic disciplinary expertise. Theorised to include capabilities such as spatial thinking, geographical imagination and structured ways to explore places, the concept of geocapabilities…

Background: A job is undertaken for a particular period of an individual's life and with chances for progress. The constructive way to know about the individual's inner strength. Career ability for high school students is essential to identify their capabilities in different career choices and choose the appropriate one, which helps in reaching…

Rappolt-Schlichtmann, Gabrielle; Boucher, Alyssa R.; Evans, Miriam – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: In this article, we explore the deficit view of dyslexia and consider how it may narrow research so as to hamper the progress of scientific discovery and constrain best practices to the detriment of the overall well-being and growth of students with dyslexia. We consider the neurodiversity view of dyslexia as an alternative to the deficit…

Pease, Randy; Vuke, Mary; June Maker, C.; Muammar, Omar M. – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2020
Developing students' strengths while teaching the content required by national and state standards in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is challenging for classroom teachers. In the Cultivating Diverse Talent in STEM (CDTIS) project, the assessment results found in strength-based reports gave teachers the tools needed to…

Cattaneo, Zaira; Fantino, Micaela; Tinti, Carla; Pascual-Leone, Alvaro; Silvanto, Juha; Vecchi, Tomaso – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Our representation of peripersonal space does not always accurately reflect the physical world. An example of this is "pseudoneglect", a phenomenon in which neurologically normal individuals bisect to the left of the veridical midpoint, reflecting an overrepresentation of the left portion of space compared with the right one. Consistent biases…

Peer reviewedLean, Glen; Clements, M. A. (Ken) – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1981
Analysis of 116 students revealed those who preferred to process mathematical information by verbal-logical means outperformed more visual students on tests. Spatial ability and knowledge of spatial conventions had less influence on performance than expected. (MP)

Peer reviewedMumford, Michael D.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1994
How learning styles (massed versus distributed practice) influence the relationship between abilities and task performance was studied with 209 undergraduates. Analysis reveals that perceptual speed contributes to performance for subjects who massed practice, whereas spatial visualization contributed for those who distributed practice.…

Gurny, Helen Graham – 2003
This study tested whether mental rotation performance of 186 high school students (80 males and 106 females) in grades 9 through 12 in art and nonart classes on Vandenbergs Mental Rotations test (S. Vandenberg and Kuse, 1978) was affected by gender, visual-spatial activities, strategies used while performing the test, and the ease of test taking.…

Levine, Jerrold M.; And Others – 1980
A project investigated the feasibility of training spatial visualization to facilitate transfer among tasks requiring these abilities and thus reduce training time and increase personnel flexibility. Eighty undergraduate college students participated in a study of from one to five days duration. Experimental subjects received extensive practice…

Levine, Jerrold M. – 1980
A program investigated the feasibility of training selected abilities so as to facilitate transfer among tasks requiring these abilities and thus reduce training time and increase personnel flexibility. An extensive review of relevant literature was a first step in this investigation. Undergraduate college students were used as subjects in an…
