摘要:This review examines the relationship between spatial abilities and students' mathematics achievements and the neurobiological substrates underlying their association. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies suggested a positive association between spatial and math skills, while the relationship may vary depending on the participants' age or grade. Although numerous researchers claimed that in-class or out-of-class spatial training programmes enhance students' mathematics achievements over the past decade, few studies could reveal the mechanisms for the transfer effects. Based on neuroimaging evidence, the intraparietal sulcus is one of the most robust brain regions related to both spatial and math skills, indicating that the two skills may share some mental processes. These neural and cognitive results provide grounds for educational interventions. Further studies employing complex math skills will provide opportunities to guide classroom teaching practices.
