Kubicek, Emily; Quandt, Lorna C. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
Past work investigating spatial cognition suggests better mental rotation abilities for those who are fluent in a signed language. However, no prior work has assessed whether fluency is needed to achieve this performance benefit or what it may look like on the neurobiological level. We conducted an electroencephalography experiment and assessed…

Computer Visualizations: Factors that Influence Spatial Anatomy Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nguyen, Ngan; Nelson, Andrew J.; Wilson, Timothy D. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2012
Computer visualizations are increasingly common in education across a range of subject disciplines, including anatomy. Despite optimism about their educational potential, students sometime have difficulty learning from these visualizations. The purpose of this study was to explore a range of factors that influence spatial anatomy comprehension…
