Yi-Ling Cheng -- Chapter 9 Mediator role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Spatial Thinking, Melih Turgut -- Chapter 10 Visuospatial Working Memory as a Part of Information-Processing System - A Modifiable Resource behind Academic Learning? Minna Kyttala -- Chapter 11 Gender Differences in Visual-spatial Ability and Their Implications for STEM-fields, David Reilly & David Neumann, Glenda Andrews -- Chapter 12 Ranking and Predicting Results for Different Training Activities to Develop Spatial Abilities, Jorge Martin-Gutierrez -- Index.

Each chapter in this book makes a unique contribution to the body of the literature and enhances the understanding of spatial ability and its influence on learning in the STEM disciplines. It addresses spatial abilities, ways to measure them as well as their impact and how they can affect learning subjects in scientific, technology and engineering domains. The volume deliberately covers a wide range perspectives from cognitive psychology, educational psychology, science, technology, engineering and mathematics, computer science, information technology disciplines to human development. Taking a broad view on the topic, chapters in the book discuss how to define spatial ability and its factors, the measurement of spatial ability and psychometric analyses, and educational strategies to improve spatial skills and their implications for science and technology education. The book thus provides an overview of current thinking about visual-spatial ability, spatial reasoning, and spatial skills.
