{"pk":26136,"title":"Influence of 3D images and 3D-printed objects on spatial reasoning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this study, we experimentally investigated the influence ofa three-dimensional (3D) graphic image and a 3D-printed ob-ject on a spatial reasoning task in which participants were re-quired to infer cross sections of a liver in a situation where liverresection surgery was presupposed. The results of the studyindicated that using a 3D-printed object produced more accu-rate task performance and faster mental model construction ofa liver structure than a 3D image. During the task, using a3D-printed object was assumed to reduce cognitive load andinformation accessing cost more than using a 3D image.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"External representation; 3D print; Spatial reason-ing; Mental model"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/43m748t7","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Akihiro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Maehigashi","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""},{"first_name":"Kazuhisa","middle_name":"","last_name":"Miwa","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""},{"first_name":"Masahiro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Oda","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""},{"first_name":"Yoshihiko","middle_name":"","last_name":"Nakamura","name_suffix":"","institution":"National Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Kensaku","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mori","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""},{"first_name":"Tsuyoshi","middle_name":"","last_name":"Igami","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T10:00:00-08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26136/galley/15772/download/"}]}
