Individual Differences in Complex Spatial Processing.
Mumaw, Randall J.; Pellegrino, James W.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n5 p920-39 Oct 1984
An information-processing model was tested for a laboratory visualization task that represents one adaptation of a standardized spatial ability test. The pattern of results suggests that individual differences are a function of differences in the accuracy and/or quality of the mental representation, not just speed of processing. (Author/BW)
