Effects of spatial training on mathematics in first and sixth grade children. (2020, background): “A remaining question is why children in the present study benefitted from spatial training when other closely related studies have failed to obtain such effects (Cornu et al., 2017; Hawes et al., 2015; Xu & LeFevre, 2016).”
The Influence of Spatial Visualization Training on Students’ Spatial Reasoning and Mathematics Performance (2019, result): “By way of example, Hawes et al. (2015) compared 6 weeks of training in mental rotation to literacy training and found that the training improved mental rotation performance but did not transfer to mathematics.”
Training early visuo-spatial abilities: A controlled classroom-based intervention study (2019, methodology): “exclusively focused on specific components of spatial processing, such as mental rotation (Cheng & Mix, 2014; Hawes et al., 2015), puzzle play (Levine et al.”
A Heuristic Framework of Spatial Ability: a Review and Synthesis of Spatial Factor Literature to Support its Translation into STEM Education (2018, unknown): “Hawes et al. (2015) posited that the gains found by Cheng and Mix (2014) were due to a priming effect as the mathematics problems were similar to the two-dimensional mental rotations rather than an increased level of speeded rotations (SR) ability; however, they acknowledge further research is…”
The role of spatial, verbal, numerical, and general reasoning abilities in complex word problem solving for young female and male adults (2020, background): “In another study with 6- to 8-year-olds, Hawes et al. (2015) could not find transfer effects of spatial training on missing-term calculations as well as other forms of calculations.”
