Computer Graphics: A Teaching Tool for Mental Visualization Skills
Abstract
Interactive computer graphics are shown to be an effective method for improving mental visualization skills. Computer-aided spatial skills improvment exercises (CASSIE) are developed at Texas A&M University to determine if they can be an effective tool for improving spatial skills. A pre-test post-test method is used to detect any improvment of the spatial skills of twenty-three architecture students. Results confirm a positve relationship between computer graphics used as a teaching tool and increases of spatial skills. Problems with CASSIE are discussed and continued research is highly encouraged.
