Abstract

The disciplines of mathematics education and psychology have various definitions for visualization and spatial visualization with important implications for geometry. In this study we explored the influence of spatial visualization, as measured in psychology, and visualization on primary pre-proof geometry tasks. Results suggest that spatial visualization and visualization are related but distinct. Implications are discussed for incorporating psychological findings into geometry education.
