People with well-developed visual-spatial abilities are most likely found in professions such as surgery.

What are visual-spatial abilities?

  • Visual-spatial abilities play a pivotal role due to the multi-faceted visual sensory processing involved in reading.
  • Several studies show that children with developmental dyslexia (DD) fail to develop effective visual strategies which some reading difficulties are linked to visual-spatial deficits.
  • However, the connection between visual-spatial skills and reading abilities is still a controversial issue. Crucially, the role that age plays has not been investigated thorough in this population, and it's still not clear if visual-spatial abilities differ across educational stages in DD.
  • The aim of this study was to investigate visual-spatial abilities in children with DD and in age-matched normal readers (NR) according to different educational stages: in children attending primary school and in children and adolescents attending secondary school.
  • Moreover, so as to verify whether visual-spatial measures could predict reading performance, a multivariate analysis has been performed in younger and older children.
  • The results showed that younger children with DD performed significantly worse than NR during a mental rotation task, a more-local visual-spatial task, a more global visual-perceptual task and a visual-motor integration task.
