Can You Visualize a 3D Object from a Diagram?
Research Finding :
High “spatial ability” in adolescence, including the capacity to visualize 3D objects from 2D patterns, is a statistically significant predictor of later creativity in science and technology.
Experiment :
An international study of intellectually talented 13-year-olds, spatial ability improved their creavity in creativity in science & techonlogy & in humanities 30 years later, in the participants’ likelihood of holding patents and being authors of refereed publications was found higher by 7.6% .
The findings support the argument that in omitting assessments of spatial ability, SATs and other standard college-admission tests fail to measure a dimension of cognitive ability that has crucial real-world significance !
