Spatial reasoning ability in small children reflects how well they will perform in mathematics later. Researchers recently came to this conclusion, making the case for better cultivation of spatial ...

Emily Farran received funding from the Leverhulme Trust, the Economic and Social Research Council, the British Academy and the Centre for Educational Neuroscience to carry out research discussed in ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Training young children in spatial reasoning can improve their math performance, according to a groundbreaking study from Michigan State University education scholars. The ...

Video games have long been criticised for encouraging violence and antisocial behaviour. And parents often express concern that they could have detrimental effects on their child’s learning abilities.

Spatial reasoning measured in infancy predicts how children do at math at four years of age, finds a new study. It provides the earliest documented evidence for a relationship between spatial ...

Childhood play experiences strongly shape a person's spatial skills, according to a new CIRES-led study—those skills can be critical to success in fields like science and engineering. Young adults who ...

Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly. Among other things, these models could be used to ...

Males and females differ in a lot of traits (besides the obvious ones) and some evolutionary psychologists have proposed hypotheses to explain why. Some argue, for example, that males' slight, but ...

Proficiency in early math skills lays the groundwork for more advanced mathematical abilities, and socioeconomic disparities in these skills are apparent even before children begin formal schooling (e ...

People who are stressed out have a harder time orienting themselves. A new study used neuroimaging to reveal why this happens ...
