“…The transient information effect may also be useful for anatomy educators when covering spatially complex information. The transient information effect refers to the inability of individuals with low spatial ability, and correspondingly a low spatial working memory (Castro‐Alonso and Atit, 2019), to keep pace and visually interpret and process information as it is presented. The transient information effect may be overcome by utilizing static or dynamic visual aids (e.g., videos or animations) which include controls permitting students to navigate through the content at their own pace.…”

“…All included studies conducted correlations between learners' spatial reasoning abilities, as assessed through the Mental Rotations Test, and their performance on spatial anatomy tasks and/or anatomical knowledge examinations. Though many tests of visual perception exist (Flanagan and Dixon, 2014; Castro‐Alonso and Atit, 2019), the Mental Rotations Test (MRT) was selected as the gold standard due to its well‐established reliability and validity properties (Vandenberg and Kuse, 1978; Peters et al, 1995). To avoid previously published limitations (Langlois et al, 2017), studies that did not utilize the MRT were intentionally excluded to minimize variability in the measurement of spatial ability.…”

Interest in spatial ability has grown over the past few decades following the emergence of correlational evidence associating spatial aptitude with educational performance in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The research field at large and the anatomy education literature on this topic are mixed. In an attempt to generate consensus, a meta‐analysis was performed to objectively summarize the effects of spatial ability on anatomy assessment performance across multiple studies and populations. Relevant studies published within the past 50 years (1969–2019) were retrieved from eight databases. Study eligibility screening was followed by a full‐text review and data extraction. Use of the Mental Rotations Test (MRT) was required for study inclusion. Out of 2,450 screened records, 15 studies were meta‐analyzed. Seventy‐three percent of studies (11 of 15) were from the United States and Canada, and the majority (9 of 15) studied professional students. Across 15 studies and 1,245 participants, spatial ability was weakly associated with anatomy performance (rpooled = 0.240; CI at 95% = 0.09, 0.38; P = 0.002). Performance on spatial and relationship‐based assessments (i.e., practical assessments and drawing tasks) was correlated with spatial ability, while performance on assessments utilizing non‐spatial multiple‐choice items was not correlated with spatial ability. A significant sex difference was also observed, wherein males outperformed females on spatial ability tasks. Given the role of spatial reasoning in learning anatomy, educators are encouraged to consider curriculum delivery modifications and a comprehensive assessment strategy so as not to disadvantage individuals with low spatial ability.

“…As the internal factors of users, Mental Cutting Ability and Gender are easily ignored in different research of interactive behavior. The interaction effects of them will affect AR navigation in terms of thinking ability, attention level, and self-evaluation [24]. As an innovative technology, mobile AR navigation will superimpose the virtual icons on the real scene, and match the navigation information with the environment to enhance the user's spatial perception [20].…”

In the context of the rapid development of navigation technology and the deepening of users' diversified needs, as an emerging public service, mobile AR (Augmented Reality) navigation is supposed to focus on human-computer interaction and user experience. To extract the influencing factors of efficient service of mobile AR navigation, we constructed an experimental method for the usability of mobile AR navigation and the users' emotional experience based on behavior-emotion analysis. In this study, the user types were divided according to the differences in Mental Cutting Ability and Gender. We explored the effects of Interaction Mode, Mental Cutting Ability, and Gender on the usability of mobile AR navigation and the users' PAD (Please-Arousal-Dominance) three-dimensional emotion through the objective performance and subjective scoring of users when completing AR navigation tasks. The results showed that the Interaction Mode and Mental Cutting Ability had significant effects on the usability of mobile AR navigation and the users' emotional experience; the Ease of Learning, Ease of Use in usability indicators, and the Arousal experience of three-dimensional emotion were significantly affected by Gender. Based on the experimental results, we excavated the mechanism of effects between various factors, extracted the behavioral and emotional trends of different types of users, broadened the research scope of mobile AR navigation-related fields, and finally summarized the design strategies from the perspective of human-robot-environment.

“…Thinking spatially involves “one's interpretation and representation about space and constructs within it” (Ness et al, 2017, p. 10). Spatial designers conceptualize spaces using visuospatial processing skills (Castro‐Alonso & Atit, 2019). The initiating idea for interior and architecture design comes first to the designer's mind; and then, it is represented using various media, including two‐dimensional (2D) or 3D drawings, sketches, or models.…”

Spatial ability, defined as the ability to visualize, imagine, translate, and interpret 2D and 3D spatial information, is a crucial building block required for the interior design and architecture professions. In this paper, we report on the development process as well as the validity and reliability of the Architecture and Interior design domain‐specific Spatial Ability Test (AISAT), a new instrument that measures domain‐specific spatial ability in the field of architecture and interior design. A total of 142 college students in Korea and the U.S. engaged in the final stage of the development process—the validity and reliability check—by taking both the AISAT and two general spatial ability tests. The results from the split‐half correlation and internal consistency showed that the AISAT reached a desirable level of reliability. Face, content, concurrent, and convergent validity were achieved to verify the AISAT. The authors hope that the AISAT will be used to measure domain‐specific spatial ability, ultimately expanding our understanding of the role of spatial ability in spatial design thinking and performance. The AISAT has the potential to benefit (1) researchers who seek a credible tool to assess design students' spatial ability, (2) educators investigating the effect of their intervention in spatial design performance in relation to spatial ability, and (3) researchers in spatial ability who would like to extend their interest in spatial design beyond the traditional psychometric approach.
