A paper in PNAS this week suggests that different spatial tests are all basically testing the same underlying ability—and that this ability is only partly explained by general intelligence.

If you're looking for ways to support your child’s learning before he or she even enters a classroom, new research from FIU ...

Many girls are encouraged to pursue STEM studies, but they can sometimes lack the spatial skills needed to excel. One professor created a training program to help all people improve their spatial ...

One spatial skill that is common to several engineering and science disciplines is the ability to visualise a 2D cross-section through a 3D object.

Spatial reasoning measured in infancy predicts how children do at math at four years of age, finds a new study. It provides the earliest documented evidence for a relationship between spatial ...

A simple classroom activity involving a classic childhood staple, LEGO, could improve children’s maths and spatial ability, leading researchers to demand for policymakers to shake up the ...

While previous research indicated that spatial play activities might foster children's spatial reasoning, relevant data from a large and diverse sample were lacking, says Jirout.

Data from a nationally representative study show that children who play frequently with puzzles, blocks, and board games tend to have better spatial reasoning ability.

Kids as young as 3 can begin honing spatial reasoning skills by toying with blocks and puzzles, which promotes later success in math, science, engineering and even reading, FIU research finds.

Spatial reasoning—the ability to visualize how shapes and objects move or fit together—is one of the strongest predictors of later success in math, science, engineering and even reading.
