Kabyashree Khanikar; Ritayan Mitra – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2024
This study investigates the cognitive strategies employed during a mental rotation task through the integration of interview data and eye-tracking heat map analysis. A total of 20 interviews between 4 participants were analyzed independently by two coders to identify holistic and piecemeal rotation strategies and eye-tracking heat maps were…

Susan Boyd; Liza Bondurant; Annalise Johnson – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Building activities can be used any time in the school year in mathematics classes to promote problem solving, perseverance, and to develop students' spatial thinking. Spatial visualization skills are the "ability to mentally manipulate, rotate, twist, or invert a pictorially presented stimulus object." The authors were guided by the…

Daeun Hong; Srijita Chakraburty; Xiaotian Zou; Yuxin Chen; Cindy E. Hmelo-Silver – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2023
The goal of this paper is to present several methods of visualizing student activity and collaboration in problem-based learning (PBL) in ways that can augment understanding of the complexity within PBL classrooms as well as to provide insights into the use of specific visual representations to address research questions in PBL. Grounded in…

Jiaqi Yu; André R. Denham – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Mental rotation is the ability to mentally rotate two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects in one's mind. Previous studies have examined the relationship between mental rotation abilities and embodied cognition. However, conflicting findings underscore the necessity for further investigation. This study aims to investigate how different…

Mehdi Ghahremani; Nielsen Pereira; Zafer Ozen; Marcia Gentry – Roeper Review, 2024
The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate how novice visual representation of design ideas has been operationalized, measured, or assessed in the research literature. In the different screening phases in this systematic review, inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria were applied. From an initial sample of 958 articles, 40…

Marchella Smith; Lindsey Cameron; Heather J. Ferguson – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
People with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) have difficulties mentally simulating events, perhaps due to a difficulty mentally generating and maintaining a coherent spatial scene -- that is, 'scene construction'. The current study compared scene construction ability between autistic adults (N = 55) and age-, gender- and Intelligence…

Rahe, Martina; Quaiser-Pohl, Claudia – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
Math anxiety is a negative affective reaction in situations concerning mathematics and is related to poor math performance and a lower mathematical self-concept. Gender differences appear in math anxiety even though gender differences in math abilities are non-existent or minimal in effect size. In the present study, gender and age differences in…

Feyza Kurban – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2024
This study explores how pre-service mathematics teachers' spatial visualisation skills evolved during a Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) based education. The study used the qualitative theory-testing case study method, which guided the identification of participants, the design of technology-supported education, and the data collection and analysis…

S. Bahar Sener; Ariel Starr – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Although we cannot see or touch time, across many cultures, we use spatial representations to think about this abstract concept. Spatial representations of time are thought to support temporal concepts that might otherwise be difficult to represent and reason about, such as the temporal component of episodic memory. One common form of spatially…

Müller, Tjark; Hesse, Friedrich W.; Meyerhoff, Hauke S. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
In co-located, multi-user settings such as multi-touch tables, user interfaces need to be accessible from multiple viewpoints. In this project, we investigated how this goal can be achieved for depictions of data in bar graphs. We designed a laboratory task in which participants answered simple questions based on information depicted in bar graphs…

Destina Wahyu Winarti; Sitti Maesuri Patahuddin; Tom Lowrie – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This study assessed the effectiveness of a spatialized mathematics intervention on the mathematical performance and spatial visualization skills of students from an underprivileged Indonesian community. Grade 8 students (N = 407) were assigned to one of twelve experimental classes, receiving the spatial mathematics intervention, or one of seven…

Greta Roettgen; Lindsey Peters-Sanders; Elizabeth Burke Hadley; Howard Goldstein; Elizabeth Spencer Kelley – Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, 2024
Purpose: One challenge to the design and delivery of effective vocabulary intervention is the selection of vocabulary targets. The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of word characteristics to vocabulary learning from explicit vocabulary intervention. Method: This study was a secondary analysis of data from two recent efficacy…

Sveistrup, Michelle A.; Langlois, Jean; Wilson, Timothy D. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Spatial abilities (SAs) are cognitive resources used to mentally manipulate representations of objects to solve problems. Haptic abilities (HAs) represent tactile interactions with real-world objects transforming somatic information into mental representations. Both are proposed to be factors in anatomy education, yet relationships between SAs and…

Mamolo, Ami; Glynn-Adey, Parker – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
We report on a group theory activity in which learners explored dihedral symmetries through a tangible geometric model. This approach has historical roots in the work of Felix Klein's Erlangen Program and his "Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint." We situate our study with respect to this history as well as current…

Ilyse Resnick; Elizabeth Louise Chapman; Thomas F. Shipley – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Visual representations of data are widely used for communication and understanding, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, despite their importance, many people have difficulty understanding data-based visualizations. This work presents a series of three studies that examine how understanding time-based…
