Gibeau, Rose-Marie; Maloney, Erin A.; Béland, Sébastien; Lalande, Daniel; Cantinotti, Michael; Williot, Alexandre; Chanquoy, Lucile; Simon, Jessica; Boislard-Pépin, Marie-Aude; Cousineau, Denis – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
This study investigates the correlates of statistics anxiety. Considering that statistics anxiety and spatial anxiety have been separately correlated with related constructs (e.g., mathematics anxiety, academic performance, etc.), the possibility that spatial anxiety plays a role in statistics anxiety is explored. When facing statistics or…

Arrighi, Linda; Hausmann, Markus – Learning & Memory, 2022
A recent meta-synthesis study with a sample of >12 million participants revealed that the male advantage in mental rotation (MR) is the largest cognitive sex/gender difference found in psychological literature. MR requires test takers to mentally rotate three-dimensional cubic figures under time restrictions. Previous studies have investigated…

Dinah Reuter; Frank Reinhold – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
The perception and manipulation of spatial information are essential for mathematical learning, and research highlights gender differences in spatial abilities. The present study contributes to the question of whether these differences are evident at earlier ages and how they interact with task complexity in mental rotation. We developed the…

Roach, Victoria A.; Mi, Misa; Mussell, Jason; Van Nuland, Sonya E.; Lufler, Rebecca S.; DeVeau, Kathryn M.; Dunham, Stacey M.; Husmann, Polly; Herriott, Hannah L.; Edwards, Danielle N.; Doubleday, Alison F.; Wilson, Brittany M.; Wilson, Adam B. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
Interest in spatial ability has grown over the past few decades following the emergence of correlational evidence associating spatial aptitude with educational performance in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The research field at large and the anatomy education literature on this topic are mixed. In an attempt to…

Veldman, Sanne L. C.; Hammersley, Megan L.; Howard, Steven J.; Stanley, Rebecca M.; Okely, Anthony D.; Jones, Rachel A. – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
This study aimed to examine associations between gross motor skills and executive functions (EF) in a large sample of Australian preschool-aged children. Of 566 children (mean age = 3.2 ± 0.4 years, 51.2% girls), locomotor, object control, and total skill competence were significantly associated with visual spatial working memory and inhibition (p…

Weigelt, Matthias; Memmert, Daniel – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2021
Purpose: The purpose was (1) to test a new version of a mental rotation task (MRT), which assesses mental rotation abilities of men and women for sport-specific items, and (2) to investigate potential differences in MRT performance, which are based on athletic expertise. Methods: Eighty-eight basketball experts (42 females) and 123 novices (64…

Korkmaz, Halil Ibrahim; Tekin, Birol – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate prospective preschool teachers' spatial thinking skills in terms of gender, class standings, type of high school they previously graduated from and whether they attend a course on early mathematics education or not. Survey Method was used in this study. A total of 132 prospective preschool teachers who were…

Sahin, Feride; Ates, Salih – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine whether the structural model that Sahin and Ates (2020) put forward about the relationship among students' scientific literacy levels, logical thinking ability, cognitive styles, mental capacity, and mental rotation ability differ in terms of gender. A causal-comparative model approach was used in this study.…

Antequera-Barroso, Juan Antonio; Revuelta-Domínguez, Francisco-Ignacio; Guerra Antequera, Jorge – Education Sciences, 2022
Video game use is widespread among all age groups, from young children to older adults. The wide variety of video game genres, which are adapted to all tastes and needs, is one of the factors that makes them so attractive. In many cases, video games function as an outlet for stress associated with everyday life by providing an escape from reality.…

Yan, Ziluo; Yu, Xiaodan; Cheng, Dazhi; Ma, Chengcheng; Zhou, Xinlin – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
An abundance of empirical evidence indicates that spatial ability is significantly correlated with educational performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Previous studies have explored the relationship between spatial ability and science achievement in adults. However, the relationship between spatial ability…

Demir, Eda; Ilhan, Onur Alp; Sevgi, Sevim – Bulletin of Education and Research, 2023
The purpose of the study was to determine the association between van Hiele geometric thinking levels and circular achievement exam results for middle school students in 7th grade. The design of the study was a survey method. 157 middle school students were participated into study from three different schools in Kayseri in the spring semester of…

Lütke, Nikolay; Lange-Küttner, Christiane – Developmental Psychology, 2021
We investigated mental rotation in children by systematically varying the adult cube aggregate's set size, rotation angle, and picture/depth plane rotations in a new test. Eighty 4- to 11-year-old mainly middle-class children (British Indian and British African majority and white minority; 40 girls and 40 boys) were assessed using the new…

Contreras, María José; Meneghetti, Chiara; Uttal, David H.; Fernández-Méndez, Laura M.; Rodán, Antonio; Montoro, Pedro R. – Education Sciences, 2020
Previous studies on metacognitive performance have explored children's abilities during primary school (7-11 years) in abstract and mathematical reasoning tasks. However, there have been no studies evaluating the metamemory processes with spatial tasks in primary school children, and even more generally, only a few studies have explored spatial…
