Potter, Charles; Van Der Merwe, Errol; Kaufman, Wendy; Delacour, Julie – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2006
We have previously reported in this journal that spatial ability influences academic performance in engineering. We have also reported that spatial ability is trainable, and can be increased through instruction focused on using perception and mental imagery in three-dimensional representation. In this article, we present the results of a…
