In this article, we review approaches to modeling a connection between spatial and mathematical thinking across development. We critically evaluate the strengths and …
Prior research has revealed robust and consistent relations between spatial and mathematical skills. Yet, establishing a causal relation has been met with mixed effects. To …
A rising epistemological paradigm in the cognitive sciences—embodied cognition—has been stimulating innovative approaches, among educational researchers, to the design and …
A proposal for a fully post-phrenological neuroscience that details the evolutionary roots of functional diversity in brain regions and networks. The computer analogy of the mind has …
The relations among various spatial and mathematics skills were assessed in a cross- sectional study of 854 children from kindergarten, third, and sixth grades (ie, 5 to 13 years of …
The current study investigated the effectiveness of three distinct educational technologies— two game-based applications (From Here to There and DragonBox 12+) and two modes of …
