Do you marvel at your friend's ability to assemble complex furniture and navigate a new city, or do you all-around groan at your own lack of spatial skills? Don't fret! A new study found that you, too ...
Confirming previous research, the data revealed that participants' mathematical and verbal reasoning scores on the SAT at age 13 predicted their scholarly publications and patents 30 years later. But ...
Most tests and school curricula are primarily suited to the types of students who excel in mathematics and verbal reasoning. The missing factor in testing and education policy is the measurement, ...
Duke University Talent Identification Program researcher Jonathan Wai has an interesting column in which he questions why our educational system doesn't value spatial reasoning as much as it values ...
On Tuesday, AEI’s Ryan Streeter hosted a discussion with Jonathan Wai from the University of Arkansas and David Uttal from Northwestern University. Dr. Wai and Dr. Uttal presented findings from their ...
It is well-established that, on average, men outperform women on a spatial reasoning task known as mental rotation -- imagining multi-dimensional objects from different points of view. Men are not, ...
Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly. Among other things, these models could be used to ...
Medal, a platform for uploading and sharing video game clips, has spun out a new frontier AI research lab that’s using its trove of gaming videos to train and build foundation models and AI agents ...
Spatial ability is a bit of a fuzzy concept. There are lots of different tests that can be used to assess it, like mentally rotating a 3D shape or reasoning out how a mechanical object would work. Are ...
General Intuition PBC, a startup developing artificial intelligence models that can navigate three-dimensional environments, has raised $133.7 million in funding. TechCrunch reported today that Khosla ...
Some of the spatial abilities in which boys and men have an advantage appear to contribute to the ability to visualize how objects might be used as tools and are likely important in the construction ...
