Direct linkWai, Jonathan; Lubinski, David; Benbow, Camilla P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2009
The importance of spatial ability in educational pursuits and the world of work was examined, with particular attention devoted to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) domains. Participants were drawn from a stratified random sample of U.S. high schools (Grades 9-12, N = 400,000) and were tracked for 11+ years; their…
