[edit] Chess and spatial ability
Surprisingly, spatial ability does not appear to be any more important in chess than other intellectual abilities. A cognitive ability (aside from general intelligence) important to chess is a good memory for meaningful configurations. See, e.g., Miles D. Storfer's Intelligence and Giftedness: Contributions of an Early Environment. Bulldog123 13:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Chess is primarily verbal-sequential. Spatial ability is more important in Go (game). East Asians that are good at Go have high spatial intelligence.
[edit] Merge proposal with Visual thinking
- Oppose - Spatial-temporal reasoning is about orientation and way-finding in space and space-time, of both humans and robots. Visual thinking is about a completely different subject: namely about a specific way how humans can think, e.g. when inventing new scientific ideas. --Tillmo 10:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Oppose- Temporal reasoning has nothing to do with spatial relationships. For example if an AI was going to understand that John ate dinner, read the newpaper, and then went to bed. He might use a form of Allen's Interval Algebra to understand that a human doesn't go to bed, and then eat his dinner. That there is a sequence to things. If a robot was going to set up your computer desk and computer... the robot would have to understand that he first has to build the desk, before putting the computer on the table top... I can list more but I'm not going too.--Sparkygravity (talk) 12:13, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
