Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cohen, Cheryl; Bairaktarova, Diana – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2018
First-year engineering (FYE) students are routinely screened for spatial ability, with the goals of predicting retention in the major and identifying those who need supplementary spatial instruction. Psychometric tests used for such screenings are often domain-general measures that lack diagnostic information to inform remedial instruction. A new…

Seddon, G. M.; Eniaiyeju, P. A. – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1986
Explains an investigation which examined Nigerian students' (N=200) ability to respond to depth cues and to visualize the effects of rotations. Study results indicated that performance on cues tests correlated significantly with performance on rotation tests suggesting that cues influence students' ability to visualize the effects of performing…
