Spatial Reasoning
This lecture covers the concepts of cognitive charge, sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory, declarative and procedural knowledge, mental models, spatial orientation, and the correlation between spatial skills and problem-solving abilities. It also discusses the impact of GPS use on spatial reasoning and the development of spatial skills. The instructor emphasizes the importance of spatial training in engineering education and the potential benefits of enhancing spatial abilities. Various studies and experiments are presented to illustrate the relationship between spatial skills, problem-solving, and navigation abilities.
