• Spatial thinking in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics: Elementary teachers' beliefs, perceptions, and self‐efficacy (2021, background): “…studies, in which students' spatial skills were assessed in middle school and followed for 20 years (Shea et al., 2001), or in preschool and followed through high school (Wolfgang et al., 2003), show similar findings; spatial skills are unique and independent predictors of success in STEM fields.”
• Block Talk: Spatial Language During Block Play (2011, background): “Furthermore, Wolfgang, Stannard, and Jones (2003) identified a significant relationship between complex LEGO building during preschool years and later achievement in middle and high school mathematics.”
