There's a number of reasons, both practical and cultural, that explain why our education system doesn't value spatial reasoning as highly as it should.

Spatial ability is a bit of a fuzzy concept. There are lots of different tests that can be used to assess it, like mentally rotating a 3D shape or reasoning out how a mechanical object would work.

After the first year, students in the experimental group made significant gains on assessments of geometry, spatial reasoning and numerical skills compared to the control group. In the second year, ...

We can now test the causal role that spatial reasoning may play early in life." In addition to helping improve regular early math education, the finding could help in the design of interventions ...

Before beginning their classes, the students completed a series of tests that measured spatial skills and verbal reasoning ability, solving problems presented in words.

Mozart Effect, Schmozart Effect: Science Misinterpreted In 1993, a small study found that listening to Mozart briefly improved students' ability to perform a very specific spatial reasoning task.

A simple classroom activity involving a classic childhood staple, LEGO, could improve children's math and spatial ability, ...

"Despite current foundational models often lacking sophisticated spatial reasoning capabilities, we strongly believe that harnessing large-language models for scene understanding, alongside synthetic ...

Spatial reasoning is happening all the time, in everyday activities in and outside the early years setting, often without us noticing. Children are using spatial reasoning when they hide objects in ...
