McKee K, Rothschild D, Young S, Uttal D
J Intell . 2024 Jun; 12(6). PMID: 38921688
The block design test (BDT) has been used for over a century in research and clinical contexts as a measure of spatial cognition, both as a singular ability and as...

Pagano L, George R, Uttal D, Haden C
Child Dev . 2024 Mar; 95(5):1558-1571. PMID: 38544403
This study addressed whether combining tinkering with digital storytelling (i.e., narrating and reflecting about experiences to an imagined audience) can engender engineering learning opportunities. Eighty-four families with 5- to 10-year-old...

Uttal D, McKee K, Simms N, Hegarty M, Newcombe N
J Intell . 2024 Jan; 12(1). PMID: 38248906
Spatial thinking skills are associated with performance, persistence, and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) school subjects. Because STEM knowledge and skills are integral to developing a well-trained...

Cortes R, Peterson E, Kraemer D, Kolvoord R, Uttal D, Dinh N, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Aug; 8(32):eabo3555. PMID: 35947663
Current debate surrounds the promise of neuroscience for education, including whether learning-related neural changes can predict learning transfer better than traditional performance-based learning assessments. Longstanding debate in philosophy and psychology...

Atit K, Power J, Pigott T, Lee J, Geer E, Uttal D, et al.
Psychon Bull Rev . 2021 Nov; 29(3):699-720. PMID: 34799844
Much recent research has focused on the relation between spatial skills and mathematical skills, which has resulted in widely reported links between these two skill sets. However, the magnitude of...

Marcus M, Tougu P, Haden C, Uttal D
Child Dev . 2021 Aug; 92(5):e1075-e1084. PMID: 34415060
This study examined whether families' conversational reflections after a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)-related experience in a museum promoted learning transfer. 63 children (M = 6.93 years; 30 girls;...

Marcus M, Acosta D, Tougu P, Uttal D, Haden C
Front Psychol . 2021 Jul; 12:689425. PMID: 34305749
Using a design-based research approach, we studied ways to advance opportunities for children and families to engage in engineering design practices in an informal educational setting. 213 families with 5-11-year-old...

Peterson E, Weinberger A, Uttal D, Kolvoord B, Green A
Cogn Res Princ Implic . 2020 Sep; 5(1):43. PMID: 32936362
Background: Prior research has revealed positive effects of spatial activity participation (e.g., playing with blocks, sports) on current and future spatial skills. However, research has not examined the degree to...

Pagano L, Haden C, Uttal D
J Exp Child Psychol . 2020 Aug; 200:104944. PMID: 32791381
This study focused on tinkering, a playful form of open-ended problem solving that is being widely adopted in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education as a way of encouraging...

Atit K, Uttal D, Stieff M
Cogn Res Princ Implic . 2020 Apr; 5(1):19. PMID: 32323024
Spatial skills are an important component of success in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. A majority of what we know about spatial skills today is a result of...
