    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psychometrics
    • Spatial Cognition

    Background:

    • Spatial reasoning is a key cognitive ability.
    • Existing classifications of spatial tests lack a behavior-based approach.
    • Understanding task demands is crucial for accurate assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel classification of figural spatial tests.
    • To categorize tests based on the behavioral similarities required for problem-solving.
    • To order these categories by stimulus demand and task complexity.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive sorting of over 300 figural spatial tests was conducted.
    • Tests were grouped based on perceived similarities in required task-solving behaviors.
    • Factorial research was utilized to determine stimulus demand and task complexity.

    Main Results:

    • A robust classification system for figural spatial tests emerged from the behavioral sorting.
    • The derived categories were successfully ordered according to their information about stimulus demand.
    • Task complexity was also systematically addressed in the ordering of test categories.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed classification provides a structured framework for understanding figural spatial tests.
    • This approach enhances the psychometric evaluation of spatial abilities.
    • The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of cognitive processes in spatial tasks.
