The Relationship between Graph Comprehension and Spatial Imagery: Support for an Integrative Theory ofGraph Cognition

摘要

Trickett and Trafton suggested an integrative model of graph comprehension that accounts for the role that spatial cognition plays in comprehension. This paper presents a preliminarily examination of spatial and object imagery abilities in relation to Trickett and Trafton's three levels of graph comprehension. Results confirmed Trickett and Trafton's levels of comprehension and suggested that spatial imagers have higher levels of graph comprehension.
