| Research Abstract |
Although verbal abilities and spatial abilities are thought to be the two wheels of thinking, there are no educational findings in early childhood. Therefore, in this study we conducted reorientation tasks, reconstruction tasks and three balls problems on children between 3 and 6 years old to clarify the factors that influence spatial thinking. The results suggested that, during early childhood, using partition around the array promote the use of array-intrinsic frame of reference, the experimenter positioning has influence on frame selection, anticipation of the trajectory image has the same effect as the movement.
