Abstract: Spatial reasoning including mental rotation ability has been seen to be linked to the ability to think scientifically and to do abstract tasks such as programming. There has been some attempt in the past to investigate ways in which navigating in hyperspace is affected by the ability to navigate in real spaces. The purpose of the current study has been to examine differences between training approaches to improve spatial ability using a video game and a block building approach. Understanding the differences of spatial performance needed to perform the training activities will eventually lead to better development of training procedure. The results show a greater relationship to gender than initial ability in the value of different types of game (computer or otherwise) but this could have been masked by lack of computer game interest in the female participants. There also would seem to be a limit to the level of improvement in skill that games can provide.
