Spatial reasoning ability in small children reflects how well they will perform in mathematics later. Researchers recently came to this conclusion, making the case for better cultivation of spatial ...

Emily Farran received funding from the Leverhulme Trust, the Economic and Social Research Council, the British Academy and the Centre for Educational Neuroscience to carry out research discussed in ...

Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly. Among other things, these models could be used to ...

A sustained focus on spatial reasoning training could help children learn science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Spatial training with blocks and puzzles could unlock mathematical potential ...

Proficiency in early math skills lays the groundwork for more advanced mathematical abilities, and socioeconomic disparities in these skills are apparent even before children begin formal schooling (e ...

Spatial intelligence is the ability to create, remember, recall, and transform visual images, no matter what angle of rotation you see it in. This form of intelligence was born out of Howard Gardner’s ...

Emily Farran does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

It's been debated for decades, but now researchers at the University of York and University College London have suggested that left-handedness is not linked to better spatial skills. By asking ...

The danger with these intelligence tests, though, is that they do not perfectly predict what will happen to people in the future. In his fascinating book, Ungifted, Scott Barry Kaufman provides both a ...
