Visual Processing during Mathematical Problem Solving.

Campbell, K. Jennifer; And Others

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v28 n2 p177-94 Mar 1995

Investigated individual differences in (n=100) 10th-grade students' forms of visual thinking and related intuitions in the context of mathematical problem solving. Results suggest that success at problem solving was related to logical operational ability but not to vividness of visual imagery. (29 references) (Author/SYB)
