Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spatial skills develop gradually over childhood and adolescence, with improvements seen throughout this time period. While there is some evidence that spatial skills may have a genetic component and that early experience with spatial activities can contribute to spatial skill development, spatial skills are not fully developed in early childhood and continue to improve into adolescence. Spatial skills are not typically housed in the left hemisphere, as both hemispheres of the brain are involved in spatial processing. Finally, while spatial skills may be related to executive function and may support the development of other cognitive skills, executive function is a separate construct from spatial ability.
