Enhancing Children's Spatial and Numerical Skills through a Dynamic Spatial Approach to Early Geometry Instruction: Effects of a 32-Week Intervention (2017, background): “Spatial training has been shown to result in improvements in students’ calculus performance (Sorby et al., 2013) and other mathematics-related disciplines, including engineering (Hsi, Linn, & Bell, 1997), physics (Miller & Halpern, 2013), and chemistry (Small & Morton, 1983).”
Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, background): “…performance (e.g., Casey et al., 2008), we could not find any that demonstrated a statistically significant effect on outcomes such as likelihood of majoring in a STEM field (see D. I. Miller & Halpern, 2013, for an intervention that improved spatial skills but did not affect gender disparities).”
Spatial thinking in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics: Elementary teachers' beliefs, perceptions, and self‐efficacy (2021, background): “…underlies students' comprehension of and reasoning about scientific phenomena (Gagnier et al., 2017; Jee et al., 2013; Kozhevnikov et al., 2007; Miller & Halpern, 2013; Mix, 2019; Rudmann, 2002; Sanchez, 2012; Shipley et al., 2013; Small & Morton, 1983; Sorby, 2001; Stieff, 2011; Verdine et…”
Effects of spatial training on mathematics in first and sixth grade children. (2020, result): “Other studies, while not directly related to mathematics outcomes, have shown similar improvement among undergraduates taking science and engineering coursework following spatial visualization training (Miller & Halpern, 2013; Sorby, 2009; Sorby, Casey, Veurink, & Dulaney, 2013).”
Gender Differences in Spatial Ability: Implications for STEM Education and Approaches to Reducing the Gender Gap for Parents and Educators (2017, background): “In another study operating over a longer time period, Miller and Halpern (2013) recruited a sample of male and female first-year college students and randomly assigned them to either a control group or a spatial training condition (consisting of six two-hour spatial training sessions over a six…”
