• Talking Shape: Parental Language with Electronic versus Traditional Shape Sorters. (2015, unknown): “First, spatial cognition is an important element in the development of mathematics and science skills (Newcombe & Frick, 2010; Wolfgang, Stannard, & Jones, 2001) with long-lasting implications (Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009).”
• Guidance for representing uncertainty on global temperature change maps (2016, background): “Moreover, the question about education was expected to explain some of the variance in user accuracy on the region-ranking tasks, since map reading and other spatial skills generally improve with more education and training (Newcombe and Frick, 2010).”
• Spatial thinking in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics: Elementary teachers' beliefs, perceptions, and self‐efficacy (2021, unknown): “For example, Cheng and Mix (2014) Gagnier & Fisher, 2020; Hegarty, 2014; Newcombe, 2010, 2013, 2017; Newcombe & Frick, 2010; Uttal & Cohen, 2012; Uttal et al., 2013; Wai & Uttal, 2018).”
• Spatial Training Improves Children's Mathematics Ability (2014, unknown): “…in the same way as spatial ability itself can be trained (Baenninger & Newcombe, 1989; Ehrlich, Levine, & Goldin-Meadow, 2006; Heil, Rosler, Link, & Bajric, 1998; Hsi, Linn, & Bell, 1997; Kail, 1986; Newcombe & Frick, 2010; Sorby & Baartmans, 2000; Uttal et al., 2012; Vasta, Knott, & Gaze, 1996).”
• Gender-Role Differences in Spatial Ability: A Meta-Analytic Review (2013, background): “Early intervention is desirable before such differences emerge (Newcombe and Frick 2010).”
• Gender Differences in Spatial Ability: Implications for STEM Education and Approaches to Reducing the Gender Gap for Parents and Educators (2017, background): “Newcombe and Frick (2010) advocate that educators and parents should provide young children plenty of time for free play and physical action with objects like balls to provide practice in motor skills.”
