“…An even stronger correlation was found with respect to the sub‐scales of creative performance, with functional creative performance showing the strongest correlation with spatial ability. The results of previous empirical studies have also reflected a positive correlation between spatial ability and creativity (Guzel & Sener, ; Ivie & Embretson, ; Presmeg, ). Indeed, spatial ability is also one of the most important mental abilities for engineering design (Lubinski, ).…”

“…Several pedagogical studies have focused on the use of instructive or creative unit activities to enhance the spatial abilities of university students (Miller, ; Xuemei & Gang, ). Other studies have indicated that spatial ability relates to alternative thinking (i.e., divergent thinking) (Guzel & Sener, ). Empirically derived statistics have also shown that spatial ability affects performance on the TTCT (Gansler et al ., ).…”

“…Spatial ability is the ability to establish and preserve internal representations of external images and to perform mental operations (Guzel & Sener, ; Hoffler, ; Höffler & Leutner, ). However, it is not a single ability; rather, it is a set of cognitive abilities (David, ; Hoffler, ) that include spatial orientation, spatial relations, spatial perception, spatial visualization and spatial organization (Höffler & Leutner, ; Kang, ; Yang & Chen, ).…”

Students' creativity is an important focus globally and is interrelated with students' spatial abilities. Additionally, three-dimensional computer-assisted drawing (3D-CAD) overcomes barriers to spatial expression during the creative design process. Does 3D-CAD affect students' creative abilities? The purpose of this study was to explore the auxiliary effects of 3D-CAD applications on students' creative design capabilities and on students with different spatial abilities. A total of 349 students from a public senior high school in Taoyuan County, Taiwan, participated in the study. The study used a non-equivalent pretest and post-test quasi-experimental design. The key results from the study include the following: (1) students' spatial abilities were moderately correlated with their creative performance, especially their functional creativity; (2) the 3D-CAD applications enhanced students' creative performance, particularly with regard to aesthetics; and (3) in 3D-CAD applications, students with better spatial abilities were superior to those with relatively poor spatial abilities with regard to creative performance. Additionally, the effect sizes of novelty and aesthetics were stronger than that of functionality.

“…Kemampuan spasial merupakan kemampuan yang penting bagi siswa untuk mempelajari geometri (Guzel & Sener, 2009). Kemampuan spasial merupakan kemampuan unuk memanipulasi, merotasi objek dan merupakan suatu kemampuan untuk dapat membayangkan objek dari perspektif yang berbeda (Febriana, 2015).…”

Difficulties in learning geometry relate to spatial abilities. Students with good spatial skills will be able to solve geometric problems. In helping students overcome difficulties in learning geometry, they used the Van Hiele's learning theory. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to describe the spatial perception ability in solving geometric problems based on Van Hiele's theory in terms of mathematical ability. The subjects in this study were three junior high school students with high, medium, and low math abilities. Subjects were given a spatial ability test and an interview twice. The triangulation time and subject was carried out to test the credibility of data. Based on the results of data analysis, students with high, medium, and low math abilities were able to observe objects from different perspectives. Subjects with medium math abilities were able to observe the object from different perspectives. However, subjects with high and low math abilities have some difficulties in observing objects from different perspectives.

“…For the definition of spatial ability, Guzel and Sener (2009) proposed the concepts concerning individuals' techniques of rotation, maintenance, and conversion of visual information of spatial events. Newcombe and Frick (2010) suggested that, if one can identify the shape of an object, understand its states of zooming in and zooming out, and understands its spatial relationship, he/she can still fully understand the mutual relationships of this object.…”
