Researchers have developed a test that uses children's ability to assemble LEGO pieces to assess their spatial visualization ability. Spatial visualization is the ability to visualize 3D shapes in one ...

Men consistently outperform women on spatial tasks, including mental rotation, which is the ability to identify how a 3-D object would appear if rotated in space. Now, a University of Iowa study shows ...

There is clear evidence that men perform better at spatial tasks and women outpace men on tests of verbal usage and perceptual speed, according to research conducted by Wendy Johnson, postdoctoral ...

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 ...

Young children who practice visual working memory and reasoning tasks improve their math skills more than children who focus on spatial rotation exercises, according to a large study. The findings ...

It’s pretty easy to link humans’ intelligence to our success as a species. Things like agriculture, building cities, and surviving in harsh environments require a large collection of mental skills, ...

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 ...
