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 ...
If you're looking for ways to support your child’s learning before he or she even enters a classroom, new research from FIU offers an answer that’s backed by science and surprisingly simple: puzzles, ...
Most tests and school curricula are primarily suited to the types of students who excel in mathematics and verbal reasoning. The missing factor in testing and education policy is the measurement, ...
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, ...
Conventional testing can underestimate a student’s learning ability. Sociocultural barriers, test anxiety and differences in rates of brain development can skew results. In principle, neuroscience ...
As I mentioned in a recent post, "Women’s Advantages in Social Cognition," we anticipate nuance in the pattern of cognitive sex differences and in the supporting brain systems. Broadly speaking, ...
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 ...
