More generally, it implies that spatiality is the unifier of [most] academic disciplines. These assertions beg many questions, perhaps beginning with, what is our goal? What should the educational community and industry partners do to clarify the need for and advance spatial abilities across the collegiate and K-12 curricula in the near term, from research and practice to curriculum development and promotion? Uttal and Cohen’s (2012) meta-analysis lends clarity to the many critical dependencies STEM education holds for spatial abilities and training. The longitudinal work of Wai, Lubinski, & Camilla (2009) demonstrate the propensity of most STEM learners to score well on measures of spatial skills.
