Training Spatial Ability

摘要: The ability to create a mental image of an object and then manipulate it mentally has significant practical application in fields such as mathematics, physics, architecture, engineering design. It is documented that success these highly predicted by one’s visualize objects (e.g. Ghiselli, 1966). Moreover, becoming increasingly apparent spatial skills may reflect important intellectual capacities cannot be measured verbally. For example, Einstein, through his own accounts, considered primary thoughts visual, not verbal (Hadamard, 1945). This suggests reasoning need entirely nature. If this the case, would extremely useful know if training or some other types experience lead improvement aptitude. Although many researchers have addressed question, available evidence does provide unequivocal answer. two studies 1942, one Faubian, Cleveland, Hassell, Churchill, Curtis, Coombs, showed no tests (relative control group) after drafting, blueprint reading, drawing. In contrast, Blade Watson (1955) did find for trainability ability.
