Childhood play experiences strongly shape a person's spatial skills, according to a new CIRES-led study—those skills can be critical to success in fields like science and engineering. Young adults who ...

In the first of this four-part series, Professor Emily Farran, Catherine Gripton, Sue Gifford and Alison Borthwick consider the spatial possibilities of outdoor play Understanding how objects, ...

3D shapes aren’t just geometry—they’re a gateway to building spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and early STEM confidence. Through hands-on play, kids connect cubes, cones, and cylinders to the real ...

When we read maps, pack the car for holidays, assemble flat-pack furniture or cut cake into equal slices, we use spatial reasoning skills. These allow us to mentally manipulate objects or think in a ...

Google has launched Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, an AI model enabling robots to interpret visual data, plan tasks, and assess completion in real environments. The system advances spatial reasoning, ...

Google launches Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, enabling robots to reason, read gauges, and act autonomously in real-world settings.

There’s an enduring stereotype that women tend to be worse than men when it comes to spatial reasoning. Mentally rotating an object, coming up with strategies to maneuver a big piece of furniture ...

The term 'spatial reasoning' might sound lofty, but it's actually a skill we use close to home in our daily lives. It's used when reading a map, parking a car, assembling flat-pack furniture, or ...

While boosting kids’ math and verbal skills may draw more attention from parents and educators, spatial reasoning skills play an important -- sometimes overlooked -- role in academic and career ...

Spatial reasoning measured in infancy predicts how children do at math at four years of age, finds a new study. It provides the earliest documented evidence for a relationship between spatial ...
