Abstract

Our brains have adapted over the long period of evolution to a 3-D world and we are able to assess our location and position in space in relation to other objects. When we look at an object depicted on paper (2-D), we automatically construct a 3-D image. We often fail to notice that several actions that we perform in our daily life involve spatial thinking and understanding. As I navigate through the map on my phone or fill up a refrigerator with containers of various sizes, I use spatial understanding. All of us rely on spatial thinking much more than we realise.
