Spatial ability is known to have an important role in learning different skills in childhood and achieving success in specific professions. A vast majority of the studies on this topic have focused on adults, and few on in children. In this study, eight tasks were selected to assess eight factors of spatial ability and were modified to be suitable for children. Computerized versions of the tasks were designed and their reliability was measured. One-hundred and ten Iranian children aged 9 to 12 years old participated in the study. In order to assess the test-retest reliability, half of the participants were tested twice. Internal consistency reliability was calculated for some of the tasks. Intraclass correlation coefficients were obtained by test-retest reliability analysis for all tasks ranging from 0.689 to 0.997. The range of Cronbach's α coefficient was found to be between 0.335 and 0.784. The range of the ω coefficient was from 0.428 to 0.798. Each modified task had adequate reliability for assessing the respective spatial ability factors. This battery can help to identify the level of spatial performance in children.

儿童空间能力的综合评估：计算机任务电池

众所周知，空间能力在儿童学习不同技能和在特定职业中取得成功方面发挥着重要作用。绝大多数关于该主题的研究都集中在成人身上，而很少关注儿童。在这项研究中，选择了八项任务来评估空间能力的八项因素，并对其进行了修改以适合儿童。设计了任务的计算机版本并测量了它们的可靠性。110 名 9 至 12 岁的伊朗儿童参加了这项研究。为了评估重测信度，一半的参与者接受了两次测试。计算了一些任务的内部一致性可靠性。通过重测信度分析获得所有任务的组内相关系数，范围从 0.689 到 0.997。克朗巴赫的范围' s α 系数被发现在 0.335 和 0.784 之间。ω 系数的范围是从 0.428 到 0.798。每个修改后的任务对于评估各自的空间能力因素都有足够的可靠性。这种电池可以帮助确定儿童的空间表现水平。
