Visuospatial reasoning activities

The mental processes associated with physical representations are a part of visuospatial reasoning. For instance, visual-spatial reasoning and processing are used while reading and interpreting a map. Researchers discovered in one study that improving visuospatial thinking raised IQ test results. In that study, participants visuospatial reasoning was improved in part by memory and executive control exercises. Another study discovered a link between young Chinese students' academic achievement in math and reading and their visuospatial reasoning skills.

Training for visual and spatial skills includes the following:

• Mazes
• Point-of-view activities
• 3-D models
