Honored to have our recent paper highlighted by APA Editor’s Choice. Both concrete and digital spatial assembly experiences can boost preschoolers’ spatial skills with more nuanced transfer to math skills for children from lower-education backgrounds.
March's Editor's Choice:
What does play have to do with it? A concrete and digital spatial intervention with 3-year-olds predicts spatial and math learning.
