Spatial ability: its educational and social significance

Image result for spatial ability macfarlane smith

 

This book contains a mass of evidence which suggests that spatial ability has been neglected in most educational systems, and especially in British grammar schools. The author discusses numerous investigations on the uses of spatial tests, including studies of brain-injury, and concludes that spacial ability is in some ways more fundamental than verbal ability and that measures of the former provide a better indication of ability to think analytically and abstractly.
