While boosting kids’ math and verbal skills may draw more attention from parents and educators, spatial reasoning skills play an important -- sometimes overlooked -- role in academic and career ...

Spatial reasoning measured in infancy predicts how children do at math at four years of age, finds a new study. It provides the earliest documented evidence for a relationship between spatial ...

Play may seem like fun and games, but new research shows that specific kinds of play are actually associated with development of particular cognitive skills. Data from a nationally representative ...

Duke University Talent Identification Program researcher Jonathan Wai has an interesting column in which he questions why our educational system doesn't value spatial reasoning as much as it values ...

It is well-established that, on average, men outperform women on a spatial reasoning task known as mental rotation -- imagining multi-dimensional objects from different points of view. Men are not, ...

Spatial reasoning connects math to the physical world and includes skills like reading maps, understanding symmetry and building 3D objects. Research indicates that spatial reasoning skills correlate ...

For all the emphasis placed on science, technology, engineering and math instruction, not much attention is given to a skill set that’s closely related with success in STEM: spatial skills. Sheryl ...

Males gain a slight advantage in mental-rotation performance during the first years of formal schooling, and this advantage slowly grows with age, tripling in size by the end of adolescence. It is ...

To improve the VPT capabilities of VLMs, the researchers compiled a dataset that could support their training on spatial reasoning tasks. Using NVIDIA's Omniverse Replicator, a platform for generating ...
