Neural Efficiency and Spatial Task Difficulty: A Road Forward to Mapping Students' Neural Engagement in Spatial Cognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Snowden, Ariel W.; Warren, Christopher M.; Goodridge, Wade H.; Fang, Ning – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2021
The current study examined the neural correlates of spatial rotation in eight engineering undergraduates. Mastering engineering graphics requires students to mentally visualize in 3D and mentally rotate parts when developing 2D drawings. Students' spatial rotation skills play a significant role in learning and mastering engineering graphics.…

Yue, Jianping – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2007
Spatial visualization is a fundamental skill in technical graphics and engineering designs. From conventional multiview drawing to modern solid modeling using computer-aided design, visualization skills have always been essential for representing three-dimensional objects and assemblies. Researchers have developed various types of tests to measure…

Kinsey, Brad; Towle, Erick; Hwang, Grace; O'Brien, Edward J.; Bauer, Christopher F.; Onyancha, Richard M. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2007
In this paper, results from a subset of the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test and a self-efficacy test developed by the authors are presented to determine whether certain object shapes, orientations, and types of rotations in standard spatial ability tests cause more difficulty than others and whether a solid object, which includes shading to…

Using Computerized Tests to Measure New Dimensions of Abilities: An Exploratory Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cory, Charles H.; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1977
A battery of Graphic Information Processing Tests (GRIP) was developed to utilize the display characteristics of computer terminals in measuring abilities important for processing visually presented information. The tests were found to be useful for measuring short-term memory and sequential reasoning abilities. (Author/RC)

Dennis, John Richard – 1969
A developmental curriculum project is summarized which investigates the feasibility of using the PLATO computer assisted instruction (CAI) system to assist in the presentation of material in a geometry course which requires pictorial responses by the student. Geometrical concepts such as congruence, symmetry, perpendicularity, parallel, triangle,…
