Examining the components of fluid intelligence: implications for STEM education.
(ASEE, 2018)
Substantial empirical evidence illustrates the significance of spatial ability for STEM academic achievement. However, it is critical that research efforts continue to identify cognitive factors which are associated with ...
The predictive capacity of spatial ability for knowledge retention in third level technology and engineering education.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
It is well established that spatial ability correlates with STEM performance. THis has been shown through substantial longitudinal evidence e.g. (Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009). Specifically, it has been demonstrated as ...
An exploratory study into the cognitive and behavioural influences on problem solving performance.
(University of Limerick, 2016-09)
It is widely accepted that spatial cognition plays a critical role in STEM
educational success. However, while this relationship has shown to relate to
educational factors such as success and retention, it does not offer ...
Spatial working memory in mental rotations: a case for exploring neural efficiency and cognitive strategies.
(ASEE, 2018)
Spatial ability, particularly the cognitive capacity for mental rotations, is a critical component of human cognition. Proficiency with mental rotation tasks is linked with education performance in various science, technology, ...
Investigating the relationships between spatial ability, interest, and task experience on knowledge retention in engineering education.
(TERG, 2018-06)
Spatial ability has been established as having a significant effect on performance and subsequently on
retention in engineering education. However, the cause for this phenomenon is not yet fully understood.
Based on ...
The validity and reliability of online testing for the assessment of spatial ability.
(ASEE, 2016-10)
The assessment of spatial skills offers significant insight into cognitive capacities associated
with disciplines such as graphics, engineering and design. The operationalization of this
assessment is typically seen in ...
Developing a methodological approach to measure cognitive load during complex problem solving.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
Problem solving is an important element of engineering and technology disciplines and spatial
ability contributes to learners’ success in problem solving in these areas (Wai, et al., 2009). As
excessive cognitive load ...
Visualizing success: investigating the relationship between ability and self-efficacy in the domain of visual processing.
(ASEE, 2016-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial reasoning capacities and related selfefficacy
beliefs of student teachers. In recent years self-efficacy has been a focal point for those
investigating various modes ...
Developing a spatial ability framework to support spatial ability research in engineering education.
(REES, 2015-08)
The association between high levels of spatial cognition and success
in a number of engineering and technological fields is widely acknowledged
within the pertinent literature. There is a now a need for further investigation ...
