| Abstract | •Recent studies have shown that spatial skills training is effective in terms of improving math competence (Hawes et al., 2022). •But we have little knowledge about the specificity as well as the mechanisms underlying the causal link between spatial skills and math competence. •The current intervention study aims to address these issues using a randomized controlled trial of spatial skills training. •A sample of 450 third graders will be randomly assigned to receive one of the five series of game-based training (four series of spatial skills training or a vocabulary training). They will be assessed on their spatial skills, reading and math achievement, potential mediators, as well as other potential mechanisms, before and after the intervention. •The findings will inform us about whether different spatial skills training benefits math competence through the same mechanisms or contribute to math competence through different mechanisms. |
