To emphasize the positive here, and to link to some other information about research on this topic, I invite readers to look at the freely downloadable peer-reviewed research articles from the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth, which researches the issue of which early indicators of ability may be predictive of different kinds of adult achievement. The study has been looking at spatial ability tests as one of several kinds of ability tests for more than a decade.

I know some of the study participants.
- nborwankar 13y agoI am consistently disappointed that these sort of articles do not even mention what can be done to develop spatial reasoning but focus on testing alone. The challenge is to create a curriculum that systematically develops this mental faculty. That would require a lot of creativity ;-).
