Danielle S. Fox; Leanne Elliott; Heather J. Bachman; Elizabeth Votruba-Drzal; Melissa E. Libertus – Child Development, 2024
Children's spatial activities and parental spatial talk were measured to examine their associations with variability in preschoolers' spatial skills (N = 113, Mage = 4 years, 4 months; 51% female; 80% White, 11% Black, and 9% other). Parents who reported more diversity in daily spatial activities and used longer spatial talk utterances during a…

Dewi D. Hariri; Hilda Mahmudah; Fayza S. Wibawa; Nia Kania – Pedagogical Research, 2025
Mathematics is an essential subject in schools, helping develop cognitive skills such as critical analysis, logical reasoning, and problem-solving. However, academic achievement in mathematics often declines, with some students having difficulty understanding mathematical ideas. Many factors influence mathematics achievement, including students'…

Paromita Deb; Anupam Basu – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The study explored the role of verbal fluency in determining reading and comprehension skills in Bengali among 10-year old typically developing Bengali children. Robust correlations were found between semantic fluency and word reading (0.63) as well as semantic fluency and comprehension (0.70). Good correlation was found between letter fluency and…

Nicholas J. Wyche; Mark Edwards; Stephanie C. Goodhew – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
The Useful Field of View task (UFOV) is a strong and reliable predictor of crash risk in older drivers. However, while the functional domain of attention is clearly implicated in UFOV performance, the potential role of one specific attentional process remains unclear: attentional breadth (the spatial extent of the attended region around the point…

Robert C. Wilbur; Kinnari Atit; Prashansa Agrawal; Bryan Carrillo; Catherine M. Lussier; Dylan Noack; Yat Sun Poon; David Weisbart – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Passing the introductory calculus sequence is critical to undergraduate students' retention in STEM programs. This study examines the relations between three interrelated processes found to influence mathematics learning and achievement: spatial skills, spatial anxiety, and math anxiety. Additionally, it examines the role of gender on these…

Jean Langlois; Stanley J. Hamstra; Yvan Dagenais; Renald Lemieux; Marc Lecourtois; Elizabeth Yetisir; Christian Bellemare; Germain Bergeron; George A. Wells – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Haptic perception is used in the anatomy laboratory with the handling of three-dimensional (3D) prosections, dissections, and synthetic models of anatomical structures. Vision-based spatial ability has been found to correlate with performance on tests of 3D anatomy knowledge in previous studies. The objective was to explore whether haptic-based…

Nelcida L. Garcia-Sanchez; Anthony Steven Dick; Timothy Hayes; Shannon M. Pruden – Developmental Science, 2024
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,…

Jolien Moorkens; Jean-Philippe van Dijck; Wim Fias – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2025
Previous research has investigated the Spatial Numerical Associations of Response Codes (SNARC) effect as a measure of spatial number coding in relation to mathematics (Cipora et al., 2020, https://doi.org/10.1111/nyas.14355). An issue that arises if one wants to correlate mathematical performance with the SNARC effect, is how individual…

Natalie Toomey; Misook Heo – Learning: Research and Practice, 2024
This research examined how spatial ability, sex, and cognitive styles associate with self-directed multimedia resource use (study 1) and learning outcomes (study 2). In study 1, three learning resource options were offered: two unimodal (text-only and labelled-picture) and one multimodal (picture-with-narration). Findings revealed that lower…

Injeong Jo; Jessie Jungeun Hong-Dwyer – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Empirical evidence is insufficient on the specific roles GIS learning plays in developing students' understanding various spatial concepts. The present study aims to draw attention to common struggles of learning some spatial concepts in geography and offer directions for future research on GIS learning and the development of student spatial…

Natasha Chaku; Kelly Barry – Infant and Child Development, 2024
During adolescence, increases in pubertal hormones lead to reproductive maturity as well as changes in cognitive development. Yet, little is known about how to best characterize interindividual differences in hormone concentrations. The goal of the current study was to examine the antecedents and consequences of membership in empirically derived…

Zachary S. Gold; Yasmina Bayoun; Nina Howe; Kristen A. Dunfield – Early Education and Development, 2024
Research Findings: There are sparse data on children's use of executive function (EF) and spatial skills in block play. However, there are important implications for studying EF and spatial skills with blocks across cultures, especially regarding best practices for supporting social-cognitive development in under-resourced populations and…

Ali Bicer; Scott A. Chamberlin; Karla Matute; Traci Jackson; Geoff Krall – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between pre-service teachers' spatial visualisation skills and their mathematical creativity through problem-posing tasks. A group of 62 pre-service teachers completed the Purdue Spatial Visualisation test and took the mathematical creativity test through problem-posing tasks. Pearson's…

Mei Ma; Maxim Likhanov; Xinlin Zhou – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Recent research suggested fluent processing as an explanation on why number sense contributes to simple arithmetic tasks--'Fluency hypothesis'. Aims: The current study investigates whether number sense contributes to such arithmetic tasks when other cognitive factors are controlled for (including those that mediate the link); and…
