Bea Tomšic Amon – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2025
The article presents an investigation conducted with education students at the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana. The aim was to determine whether the perception and image of urban space have changed over the years, as the same questionnaire was used in 2001 and 2019. The students had to choose which of the eleven questions contained…

Matzke, Sarah – Research in Dance Education, 2023
This research investigates how the kinesthetic body forms knowledge of an environment and how that knowledge transforms with the involvement of participants. A Practice as Research (PAR) methodology employs the body as primary agent in cognition. Choreographic and improvisational movement devices assist the task of tracing cognition in…

Christopher Thomas Long – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This mixed-methods case study investigated changes to first year, first-generation (FYFG) college students' visual thinking and learning while enrolled in a 15-week academic success course (ASC) with a focus on meta-learning. The researcher found that a 5-week meta-learning intervention within the ASC helped six focal participants enact changes to…

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…

Wu, Ying Choon; Müller, Horst M.; Coulson, Seana – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
Multi-modal discourse comprehension requires speakers to combine information from speech and gestures. To date, little research has addressed the cognitive resources that underlie these processes. Here we used a dual-task paradigm to test the relative importance of verbal and visuospatial working memory in speech-gesture comprehension. Healthy,…

Lei, Xuehui; Mou, Weimin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
It is a prevailing theoretical claim that path integration is the primary means of developing global spatial representations. However, this claim is at odds with reported difficulty to develop global spatial representations of a multiscale environment using path integration. The current study tested a new hypothesis that locally similar but…

Echeverri Jimenez, Emmanuel Iamsun – ProQuest LLC, 2022
At the molecular level, chemical processes involve the rearrangement of atoms in space and time. Students often struggle with visualizing the 3D spatial characteristics of molecules and transition states, as well as recognizing the dynamic nature of chemistry. Both visual spatial skills and representational competence should be explicitly trained…

Silverman, Sarit; Ashkenazi, Sarit – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
We explored the multi-dimensionality of mathematics and working memory (WM) by examining the differential relationships between different areas of mathematics with visual, spatial, and verbal WM. Previous research proposed that visuospatial WM is a unique predictor of mathematics, but neuroimaging and cognitive research suggest divisions within…

Sampaio, Cristina; Wang, Ranxiao Frances – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
People's expectations help them make judgments about the world. In the area of spatial memory, the interaction of existing knowledge with incoming information is best illustrated in the category effect, a bias in positioning a target toward the prototypical location of its region (Huttenlocher et al., 1991). According to Bayesian principles, these…

Asio, John Mark R.; Francisco, Christopher D. C.; Nuqui, Alvin V. – Online Submission, 2021
Multiple intelligences and extracurricular activities are two variables that may affect a student's academic and non-academic performance in school. This study aimed at describing and finding the relationship between multiple intelligences and participation rates in extracurricular activities of students from a Catholic educational institution.…

A deeper understanding of what factors influence metacognition has never become more pressing than in today's digital era, in which information flows constantly and quickly. To this end, the present study explored the role of culture in mediating how individuals experience metacognitive phenomena. For this purpose, the International Group on…

Huang, Hsinfu; Lee, Chang-Franw – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
The aim of the present study was to explore the learning usability factors of 3D modeling in virtual reality environment (VRE). Users' 3D modeling usability factors in VR were investigated through principal component analysis (PCA). Fifty industrial design students participated in the 3D modeling learning in VR experience experiment, and their…

Türkmenoglu Berkan, Saliha; Öztas, Saniye Karaman; Kara, Fatma Ilknur; Vardar, Aysegül Engin – Design and Technology Education, 2020
Spatial ability is one of the most important key points for technical professions such as architects and engineers and is directly related with the success in educational and professional business life. In this regard, "Techniques of Architectural Presentation", a first semester architectural department course at Gebze Technical…

Souza, Alessandra S.; Czoschke, Stefan; Lange, Elke B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
How do we maintain information about spatial configurations in mind? Many working memory (WM) models assume that rehearsal processes are used to counteract forgetting in WM. Here, we investigated the contributions of gaze-based and attention-based rehearsal for protecting spatial representations from time-based forgetting. Participants memorized 6…

Kok, Petrus Jacobus – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This research focused on first-year university students' visuospatial cognition in terms of producing three-dimensional (3D) representations of objects from two-dimensional (2D) views. The research was important since students often had difficulty with 2D to 3D transition activities. A synthesis from the literature established a 2D to 3D…
