Abstract

This chapter presents the empirical results concerning children’s small-scale spatial abilities as measured by the paper-and-pencil test proposed in Chapter Section 10.1. It presents the results concerning the quality of individual measures (Section (Section 10.1), concerning empirically separable latent abilities (Section 10.2), and the role of visuospatial working memory (Section 10.3). Section 10.4. presents the results of the measure PTSOT-C. The final Section Section 10.5 discusses the findings with respect to the literature presented in Part I.

Footnotes
1
Item discrimination values were computed for each task/measure separately and not for the whole scale.
 
2
As outlined in Section 5.​2.​2, variables were considered to be continuous rather than categorical in the statistical analyses when featuring more than 4 distinct categories. From a content-related point of view, these distributions rather represent grouped samples from a normal distribution.
 
3
To test for possible sex differences in the VSWM measures, a MANOVA was computed with ATFS and ATBS as dependent variables and sex as independent variable. Multivariate tests showed no significant effect for sex (\(F(2{,}237) = .097, p=0.91; Wilk's \Lambda = .999\), partial \(\eta ^2 = .00\)).
