Why do spatial abilities predict mathematical performance?
Spatial ability predicts performance in mathematics and eventual expertise in science, technology and engineering. Spatial skills have also been shown to rely on neuronal networks partially shared with mathematics. Understanding the nature of this association can inform educational practices and intervention for mathematical underperformance. Using data on two aspects of spatial ability and thr...
متن کاملDO PARTNERS CARE ABOUT THEIR MUTUAL LOCATION? Spatial awareness in virtual environments
This paper reports on four experimental studies concerning regard to how people use space so as to solve problems collaboratively in virtual environments. Prior to presenting the results, it summarizes the wide range of literature concerning social uses of spatiality in human interactions. The experiments we conducted revealed that virtual space modifies and improves collaborative processes suc...
متن کاملSpatial Memory for Highly Familiar Environments
In this experiment we examined orientation dependency in human memory for a highly familiar environmental space. Twenty-seven inhabitants living for at least two years in Tübingen saw a photorealistic virtual model of the city center (Virtual Tübingen) through a head-mounted display. They were teleported to five different initial locations in Virtual Tübingen and asked to point towards well-kno...
متن کاملEffects of proprioceptive feedback and environmental characteristics on spatial learning in virtual environments
The effect of proprioceptive information and environmental characteristics on spatial learning was investigated when participants repeatedly navigated complex three-dimensional (3D) virtual mazes. Proprioceptive information, provided by viewing the mazes using a head-mounted display, was found to have little effect. The primary environmental characteristics were layout orthogonality (using path...
متن کاملSpatial Memory Organized by Environmental Geometry
We investigated the simultaneous effects of different reference systems on spatial memory. Participants studied a configuration of objects surrounding them. During retrieval, they imagined themselves in the center of the object configuration facing a particular object, and then indicated the directions of other objects relative to this imagined heading. Besides strong effects of egocentric retr...
