Abstract

This chapter presents the empirical results concerning the relation between children’s small-scale spatial abilities as measured by the paper-and-pencil test and large-scale spatial abilities as measured by the map-based orientation test. In addition, it presents results concerning the role of visuospatial working memory capacity. Section 12.1 presents results of correlation and multiple regression analyses that examined possible relations between both classes of spatial abilities at the manifest level. Section 12.2 presents results of structural equation modeling analyses that examined those relations at the latent level.

Footnotes
1
The order of the semipartial correlation refers to the number of shared variances that are partialled out.
 
2
Holm corrections were used because they are less restrictive than Bonferroni ones.
 
3
Ideally, one would consider semipartial correlation analyses and dominance analyses as possible post-hoc analyses (see Kraha et al. 2012; Nathans, Oswald, & Nimon 2012, for further elaboration). Since determining the importance of individual spatial tasks was a minor research goal of this study, their role was investigated within the limited methodical framework outlined.
 
4
In Table 12.6 the range of effect sizes is independent of the chosen kind of \(R^2\).
 
5
A \(\beta \) of .25 means that one might expect a change of .25 (in standardized metric) in performance in Dots when increasing LR by one standardized unit.(Kraha et al. 2012).
 
6
One general second-order latent factor, denoted as Large, and three subfactors SurveyMap, Prod, and Comp.
 
7
When considering an alternative model, however, in which OB was not allowed to load on EGO, this path coefficient became significant. In subsequent discussion, this path coefficient estimate will be considered as a significant one.
