Description

Product Description Visuospatial processing is key to learn and perform professionally in the domains of health and natural sciences. As such, there is accumulating research showing the importance of visuospatial processing for education in diverse health sciences (e.g., medicine, anatomy, surgery) and in many natural sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, geology). In general, visuospatial processing is treated separately as (a) spatial ability and (b) working memory with visuospatial stimuli. This book attempts to link these two research perspectives and present visuospatial processing as the cognitive activity of two components of working memory (mostly the visuospatial sketch pad, and also the central executive), which allows to perform in both spatial ability and working memory tasks. Focusing on university education in the fields of health sciences and natural sciences, the chapters in this book describe the abilities of mental rotation, mental folding, spatial working memory, visual working memory, among others, and how different variables affect them. Some of these variables, thoroughly addressed in the book, are sex (gender), visualizations, interactivity, cognitive load, and embodiment. The book concludes with a chapter presenting VAR, a battery of computer-based tests to measure different tasks entailing visuospatial processing. With contributions by top educational psychologists from around the globe, this book will be of interest to a broad array of readers across the disciplines.

Castro-Alonso is Associate Researcher at the Center for Advanced Research in Education, Universidad de Chile. He is a Biochemist, Master in Communication and Education, and PhD in Education. His interests are visuospatial processing and spatial ability, cognitive load theory and working memory, educational psychology, STEM and biology education, sex and gender differences, multimedia learning, and embodied cognition. He is currently leading an investigation on how cognitive load and learners’ characteristics affect performance on VAR, a battery of computer-based instruments that measure visuospatial processing. Dr Castro-Alonso is an academic editor of PLOS ONE and has coauthored more than 15 journal articles and book chapters.
