Children self-report how anxious they feel in specific spatial situations, like pointing to a place on a map or solving a maze, by using a sliding scale anchored with three faces (calm, somewhat nervous, and very nervous).

A test adapted from an unpublished Visualization of Views test by Guay that we read about in Elliot & Smith’s compendium of spatial abilities tests.

VIZ: The visualization assessment and training website, was developed as an open access site for the assessment and training of spatial skills. The site uses separate modules to collect accuracy and response times. We currently have four tasks, mental rotation, paper folding, water level, and spatial working memory and other tasks can be contributed. Excel macros that are currently under development will allow users to access data from a group or by date.

This data set contains the individual files (in PICT format) used in the study cited below and a .tar archive with all the files. The set has 47 Shepard and Metzler figures and their mirror images. This set is especially useful for training studies in which shape repetition would be problematic.

The paper-and-pencil Spatial Reasoning Instrument (SRI; Ramful, Lowrie & Logan, 2016) consists of 30 multiple-choice items based on three constructs (with 10 items per construct): namely, mental rotation, spatial orientation and spatial visualization.

The Revised Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Visualization of Rotations (Revised PSVT:R) (Yoon, 2011) is a revised version of the PSVT:R (Guay, 1976). The Revised PSVT:R is an instrument to measure spatial visualization ability in 3-D mental rotation of individuals aged 13 and over.

The LAI4D widget is a minimalist 3D viewer and designer for the web all in one. This widget can be easily embedded in other web pages in the form of an IFRAME element whose URL indicates the drawing source. The viewer allows to render and explore 3D drawings in web pages without the need of plugins even if the device is not WebGL enabled.

Administered on a desktop computer, this measure assesses how accurately an individual can learn the layout of buildings around a large-scale outdoor environment. The entire paradigm takes approximately 30 minutes.

This test is multiple choice test requires students to select the cross-section produced by a pictured cut through a Geologic Block Diagram (see figure below). Note this is different from the children’s cross-sectioning test and the crystal slicing test in the sense that students don’t select the appropriate shape, but rather have to select the configuration of layers that would be visible in the cross-section.

The original Vandenberg & Kuse Mental Rotation Test has deteriorated to such an extent (only copies of copies are available) that it is of questionable usefulness. We have redrawn this test and it is available in four versions

This is a test of your ability to imagine different perspectives or orientations in space. On each of the following pages you will see a picture of an array of objects and an "arrow circle" with a question about the direction between some of the objects.

In the Object Location Memory study, participants will study an array of objects that subsequently disappears. When participants are given another view of the objects, several have been moved.
