Sensorimotor experience in vertical space may also play a crucial role in the development of abstract number concepts; there is a strong correlation between vertical space and numerical magnitude in the world—referred to as geocentric mapping—such as the concept of “more is up” that is ...
(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) or skills associated with STEM fields, especially for children younger than six years of age (Xie et al., 2018). However, preschool aged children are naturally inclined towards exploring and learning STEM concepts (Bonawitz, van Schijndel, Friel...
Though there is a clear connection between spatial and mathematical abilities, understanding the intricacies of this relationship is difficult. Some scholars have sought to determine which mathematical concepts engage spatial thinking. For example, studies on specific mathematical concepts found spatial skills...
Studies focussed on embodied learning have found that children express mathematical ideas non-verbally. For example, children’s use of gesture reveals their embodied awareness of spatial-geometric concepts (Bautista et al.,2012; Ehrlich et al.,2006; Elia et al.,2014,2016; Kim et al.,2011; ...

English speakers in the United States, for example, might “look forward” to the future or gesture toward the left when talking about the past. As shown by these examples, different dimensions of space are used to represent different temporal concepts. Here, we explored how cultural factors ...
From approximately 10 years children no longer hold topological views of spatial concepts (Piaget & Inhelder, 1948) and begin to perform at adult levels on spatial ability tasks, although individual differences persist. Individuals are believed to have reached adult levels of cognition by 16 years ...
