Pribyl, Jeffrey R.; Bodner, George M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Reports on a study which examined the relationship between spatial ability and performance in organic chemistry. Results indicated that students with high spatial scores did significantly better on questions requiring problem solving skills, as well as on those requiring the mental manipulation of two-dimensional representations of a molecule.
