This paper examines capacity limits in mental animation of static diagrams of mechanical systems and interprets these limits within current theories of working memory. I review empirical studies of mental animation that examined (1) the relation of spatial ability to mental animation (2) the effects of working memory loads on mental animation, (3) use of external memory in mental animation and ...

Examples of test questions and students’ responses on one concept topic are discussed in detail. It is implied that measurement instruments developed ba...
