Characteristics of 12th Grade Students Seriously Deficient in Spatial Ability.

Gohm, Carol L.; Humphreys, Lloyd G.; Yao, Grace

Intelligence, v25 n3 p161-78 1998

When spatial ability was regressed on a measure of general intelligence in a large national sample of 12th graders, a bimodal distribution of spatial ability was found among low scoring students, suggesting two qualitatively different types of individuals. Characteristics of these students are discussed, and an organic impairment is suggested as the cause. (SLD)
