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. A new study shows a connection ...

Spatial ability is a bit of a fuzzy concept. There are lots of different tests that can be used to assess it, like mentally rotating a 3D shape or reasoning out how a mechanical object would work. Are ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Université de Montréal report that extensive musical training can steady the body in space, both with and without guiding sounds, during a blindfolded ...

Generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test statistics are often used in the detection of spatial clustering in case-control and case-population datasets to check for a significantly large proportion of ...

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 ...
