Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Humans have a tendency to use spatial structure to organize knowledge across domains. • Spatial scaffolding represents concrete and abstract information and sequences. • Spatial scaffolding may enhance learning, memory, and knowledge use. • This capacity emerges early and shapes how abstract knowledge is reasoned. • As spatial skills develop, they support and may be essential for abstract thought.
