Training early visuo-spatial abilities: A controlled classroom-based intervention study (2019, background): “First evidence for positive effects of a visuo-spatial training on math performance in children has recently been provided (Cheng & Mix, 2014).”
How Much Can Spatial Training Improve STEM Achievement? (2015, background): “Cheng and Mix (2014) have showed that spatial training can improve mathematics learning in 6- to 8-year-olds.”
Math Anxiety: Past Research, Promising Interventions, and a New Interpretation Framework (2018, background): “In other words, women may be more math anxious than men, on average, because women are worse at spatial processing than men (and spatial processing is an integral part of mathematics; e.g., Cheng & Mix, 2014).”
Enhancing Children's Spatial and Numerical Skills through a Dynamic Spatial Approach to Early Geometry Instruction: Effects of a 32-Week Intervention (2017, methodology): “The researchers of this study, Cheng and Mix (2014), randomly assigned children to either a spatial training condition (i.e., mental rotation training) or crossword puzzle condition.”
Effects of mental rotation training on children’s spatial and mathematics performance: A randomized controlled study (2015, methodology): “The missing term test was included as an attempt to replicate the previously mentioned training study by Cheng and Mix [8].”
Measurement of Spatial Ability: Construction and Validation of the Spatial Reasoning Instrument for Middle School Students (2017, background): “As mental rotation has been shown to be related to mathematics performance (Cheng & Mix, 2014), more research is required on this construct with school-age students.”
The Power of Play: A Pediatric Role in Enhancing Development in Young Children (2018, background): “‍ 13, 32, 56, 57, 84 88 The opposite is also likely true; Panksepp 89 suggested that play deprivation is associated with the hyperactivity disorder.”
