In this paper it is studied that there are statistically relevant differences in the brain activity intensity between subjects with an alleged higher development of Spatial Intelligence and those subjects without this alleged higher development. We will analyze their performance on a Spatial Intelligence task of identification, attention and recognition of virtual tridimensional geometric patte...

An increasing number of spatial agent based models (ABMs) use artificial intelligence to enhance agents’ decisions. There is a difference between ABMs with pure social intelligence based on information exchange among agents and ABMs with integrated spatial intelligence. Spatial intelligence refers to the fact that agents sense their environment, perform a judgement on the condition of this envi...

With the announcement of open information policy by the Chinese government, there has been lots of development in government statistics, Census data, and GIS data. That information provides rich reference for regional analysis in China. The primary challenges under rapid data growth include how to efficiently integrate those space-time data, provide methodology for different research targets, a...

Spatial intelligence is deeply related to success in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math) yet teachers are unaware of the concept. This paper reports on a teacher, researcher, and designer collaboration focused on translating research shown to improve spatial thinking practice. This translation is supported through a spatial “toolkit” of activities designed to raise...

H. Gardner introduced the idea of multiple intelligence. One type of these intelligences is the spatial intelligenc. P. H. Maier in his thesis distinguished five elements of the spatial intelligence: spatial perception, visualization, mental rotation, spatial relation, and spatial orientation. Maier showed a modular construction system of polyhedrons, and different activities to improve the stu...

Fluid/spatial intelligence, crystallized intelligence and their relationships to verbal and visuospatial working memory (WM) were studied. A total of 120 Finnish Air Force recruits participated in this study. Fluid/spatial intelligence was assessed using four different tasks, while crystallized intelligence was defined with the help of test scores of Finnish upper secondary school National Matr...

The second half of the twentieth century can be called the age of individualization when individual values and differences are recognized and respected. Intelligence is among the various aspects of individual differences which affect education and language learning. As such, the present study aimed at investigating the relationship between Multiple Intelligence and Reading Comprehension Abiliti...

The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...

Evidence from neuroimaging studies suggests that intelligence differences may be supported by a parieto-frontal network. Research shows that this network is also relevant for cognitive functions such as working memory and attention. However, previous studies have not explicitly analyzed the commonality of brain areas between a broad array of intelligence factors and cognitive functions tested i...

Robust gender effect has been reported in Multiple Intelligences (MI)-EFL studies across cultures. Nevertheless, research results vary in effect size, Intelligence type, overall estimation etc. The variance is mainly explained in terms of socio-cultural factors. However, although manifold MI inventories and scales are used in studies, the role of the MI-test type in creating variance has not be...
