Editorial: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Understanding Early Development of Spatial Skills: Advances in Linguistic, Behavioral, and Neuroimaging Studies.

The Neuroimaging Approach to Studying Early Spatial Development The last article of this special issue, " I Neural Correlates of Mental Rotation in Preschoolers with High or Low Working Memory Capacity: An fNIRS Study," i is an fNIRS study of the differentiated neural correlates of mental rotation (MR) in preschoolers with high and low working memory. Keywords: multidisciplinary approaches; early spatial skills; neuroimaging approach; linguistic approach; behavioral approach EN multidisciplinary approaches early spatial skills neuroimaging approach linguistic approach behavioral approach N.PAG N.PAG 4 04/26/21 20210409 NES 210409 Spatial cognition is a fundamental component of human cognition. Another consensus from the existing correlational and experimental studies is the neglected value of daily spatial activities, such as paper folding and block building, on early spatial development. In addition, they also analyzed the effects of several moderators such as the type of study design, sex, age, outcome category, research setting, and type of training. [Extracted from the article]
