| Abstract: | Spatial skills necessary to design and analyze orthographic drawings are sometimes lacking in students. This study investigated
whether computer animated graphics which replicate mental images of rotation and dimensional transformation would be useful
in the development of spatial skills. Subjects viewed films of three architectural types of graphic representations. In both
color and wire frame form, rotating to top and side views, and changing from three to two dimensions. Results indicated that
viewing the animated images did have a significant effect on increasing orthographic but not mental rotation test scores.
The order in which subjects viewed the films significantly affected their orthographic scores. Furthermore, viewing wire frame
images first had a significantly negative effect on subjects’ first mental rotation score. |
