Wenjing Wang; Mengqi Xiong; Binbin Guo; Rongchuan Huang; Mengxue Li; Mengyao Li; Xue Feng; Tianyu Qin; Zixu Wei – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2025
Working memory is a hot topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience and has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of education. In recent years, it has been found that the cognitive ability related to spatial information in working memory can positively affect STEM academic performance, which is highly important for educational…

Muhammet Ikbal Sahan; Roma Siugzdaite; Sebastiaan Mathôt; Wim Fias – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
The human eye scans visual information through scan paths, series of fixations. Analogous to these scan paths during the process of actual "seeing," we investigated whether similar scan paths are also observed while subjects are "rehearsing" stimuli in visuospatial working memory. Participants performed a continuous recall task…

Tam, Joyce; Wyble, Brad – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
We investigated the extents of automaticity in location and orientation encoding in visual working memory (VWM) by manipulating their task relevance and assessing the amount of resource recruited by their encoding. Across five experiments, participants were surprised with a location report trial (Experiment 1A, 2A, and 3) or an orientation report…

Feng Zhao; Lin Fan; Jiao Zhang; Yan-e Liu; Jiaxing Jiang; Tongfei Bing – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
This experiment employed viewing time methods to investigate the effects of individual differences in visuospatial working memory (VWM) on the processing of older adults' bridging inferences in the understanding of visual narratives. The results showed that older adults could make bridging inferences in visual narrative processing, and that VWM…

Emily R. Fyfe; Giulia A. Borriello – Child Development Perspectives, 2025
Researchers agree that both domain-general skills and domain-specific skills contribute to mathematics knowledge, but questions arise as to which skills can and should be trained to improve children's learning outcomes. In this article, we synthesize research on training three domain-general constructs in early childhood (patterning skills,…

Garcia, Nelcida L.; Dick, Anthony Steven; Pruden, Shannon M. – Infant and Child Development, 2022
Identifying factors that contribute to spatial thinking is of great interest given links between spatial thinking and success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Working memory has been found to be predictive of spatial thinking but little research has explored other components of executive function (i.e.,…

Yang, Jack X.; DeYoung, Veronica; Xue, Yuanxin; Nehru, Amit; Hildebrand, Alexandra; Brewer-Deluce, Danielle; Wainman, Bruce – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Three-dimensional (3D) scanning and printing technology has allowed for the production of anatomical replicas at virtually any size. But what size optimizes the educational potential of 3D printing models? This study systematically investigates the effect of model size on nominal anatomy learning. The study population of 380 undergraduate…

Du, Yujie; Zhang, Chenyi – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2023
Development dyslexia (DD) is a common language disorder, that significantly affects children. Despite having ordinary intelligence, dyslexic people struggle with reading, writing, and comprehension in their native tongue. It is still unclear whether dyslexic kids have difficulties with visuo-spatial working memory. Using meta-analysis, this gap…

Ylenia Passiatore; Sara Costa; Giuseppe Grossi; Giuseppe Carrus; Sabine Pirchio – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
In this paper, we investigated the contribution of both cognitive and affective factors to mathematical skills. In particular, we looked at the protective role of self-concept for mathematical learning and performance. In a field study, we tested the relation of math self-concept and short-term visuo-spatial working memory to the mathematical…

Ünal, Zehra Emine; Forsberg, Alicia; Geary, David C.; Cowan, Nelson – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
We investigated the role of working memory in symbolic and spatial algebra and related tasks across five experiments. Each experiment combined a processing task (expression evaluation, arithmetic, coordinate plane, geometry, or mental rotation) with verbal and spatial memory loads in a dual-task design. Spatial memory was compromised in the…

Heuer, Anna; Rolfs, Martin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Natural environments provide a rich spatiotemporal context that allows for visual objects to be differentiated based on different types of information: their absolute or relative spatial or temporal coordinates, or their ordinal positions in a spatial or temporal sequence. Here, we investigated which spatial and temporal properties are…

Li-Chih Wang; Duo Liu; He-Hsiu Lin; Kevin Kien-Hoa Chung; Zhengye Xu – Exceptional Children, 2024
One of the most well-known instructional methods used to enhance Chinese character reading (CCR) is Chinese stem-deriving instruction (CSDI). In this method, CCR is taught via a group of characters (e.g., [foreign character omitted], [foreign character omitted], and [foreign character omitted]) that share the same stem (e.g., [foreign character…

Kejun Zheng; Baolige Chao; Xiaoran Xue; Li Zhang – Early Child Development and Care, 2024
To examine the relationship between early number sense and later symbolic arithmetic competence and how they are connected in young Chinese children. The present study utilized a longitudinal sample of 115 Chinese children aged 3 to 6. Young children completed measures to assess number sense, visual spatial skills (in the fall of their second…

He, Chuanxiuyue; Gunalp, Peri; Meyerhoff, Hauke S.; Rathbun, Zoe; Stieff, Mike; Franconeri, Steven L.; Hegarty, Mary – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Visual working memory (VWM) is typically measured using arrays of two-dimensional isolated stimuli with simple visual identities (e.g., color or shape), and these studies typically find strong capacity limits. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) experts are tasked with reasoning with representations of three-dimensional (3D)…
