The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Influence of Spatial Visualization Training on Students’ Spatial Reasoning and Mathematics Performance (2019, background): “Stieff and Uttal (2015) argued that to provide evidence for such transfer, a study must demonstrate that spatial training improves spatial skills and that the resulting improvement in spatial reasoning leads to improvements in STEM outcomes.”
Improving Methodological Standards in Behavioral Interventions for Cognitive Enhancement (2019, background): “These correlational relations have in turn then sparked interest in the potential for cognitive training to produce enhanced performance in the various academic areas (Rohde and Thompson 2007; Stieff and Uttal 2015; Wright et al. 2008).”
A Heuristic Framework of Spatial Ability: a Review and Synthesis of Spatial Factor Literature to Support its Translation into STEM Education (2018, unknown): “However, research studies categorically illustrating a causal effect remain outstanding (Ramey and Uttal 2017; Stieff and Uttal 2015), and therefore it is not scientifically known how or why these interventions are achieving the results they are.”
