Abstract in brief

  • This study conducted two meta-analyses of 45 articles to explore the connection between spatial skills and mathematical performance, finding a moderate positive link (r ≈ 0.36) that is consistent regardless of gender or grade level.
  • It also showed that general reasoning abilities, like fluid reasoning and verbal skills, help explain parts of the relationship between spatial and math skills, but a direct link still remains.
  • The findings suggest that improving students' spatial skills could be a useful strategy for boosting their math performance, regardless of demographic differences.]
