Discussion

Short-duration spatial training enhances arithmetic performance in children, suggesting effects of spatial strategies and anxiety reduction.

Short-duration spatial training improved overall arithmetic performance in second and third graders.
The training led to a reduction in the use of counting strategies, indicating a shift towards spatial processing methods.
No significant increase in spatially related strategies was observed after the training session.
The study provides partial support for the spatial modeling account regarding transfer effects of spatial training.

Zhang et al. (2025) studied this question.
