Individual Differences in Visual Imagery and Spatial Ability.

Poltrock, Steven E.; Brown, Polly

Intelligence, v8 n2 p93-138 Apr-Jun 1984

To explore the relationship between spatial ability and both image quality and image process efficiency, 79 subjects completed spatial tests, imagery questionnaires, and laboratory tasks. Laboratory measures of process efficiency and image quality were strongly related to spatial test performance and weakly related to one another. (Author/BW)
