Spatial Ability and its Role in Organic Chemistry: A Study of Four Organic Courses.
Pribyl, Jeffrey R.; Bodner, George M.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v24 n3 p229-40 Mar 1987
Reports on a study which examined the relationship between spatial ability and performance in organic chemistry. Results indicated that students with high spatial scores did significantly better on questions requiring problem solving skills, as well as on those requiring the mental manipulation of two-dimensional representations of a molecule.
