Training effects on mental rotation, spatial orientation and spatial visualisation depending on the initial level of spatial abilities

The aim of the study is to identify who benefits more from the training of spatial abilities, those who have initial good levels of ability or those who are weak in this matter. The participants were split in 3 groups on the basis of their initial level of abilities and the differences between pre and post training scores were compared. ANOVA showed significant differences for scores in all tests, with students low in spatial abilities gaining the most benefits from training.
