Real Life Application

Further information: Abstraction

As shown in the studies athletes are more spatially aware because their training makes them have to be. Dancers are also very spatially aware, due to the immense amount of training and practice of turns and mental rehearsal. The more musical or athletic a person is, the more they are spatially aware and can rotate images in the environment. The use of mental rotation can be strengthened by becoming trained in a certain art or sport. Without mental rotation people would not be able to process information as quickly and accurately.

    “We will not be imposed upon by this vast application of forces. We believe that most things will have to be accomplished still by the application called Industry.

This it is that makes the valleys shine, and the deserts really bloom.”
