At first glance, our test today with two apples seems quite simple. Indeed, is it really that difficult to find a couple of unfortunate fruits amidst a flock of birds? But as soon as you take a closer look at these birds, you will immediately understand why only the most keen-eyed and attentive can handle this task. It’s one thing to search for apples in a flock of pigeons, thrushes, or perhaps storks. It’s quite another to try to spot them in the horde of these cute little birds!

The test with two apples, a riddle for the chosen few

Spatial Thinking Question

Modern parents understand perfectly well why it is necessary to develop fine motor skills in their children. However, the development of visual-spatial intelligence is still perceived by many as an attempt to deceive their family with the help of abstruse phrases. Let’s figure out how this skill could help us in this situation!

Strictly speaking, visual-spatial intelligence refers to the ability to orient oneself in space and perceive the full richness of the three dimensions of the world around us. People who have fully mastered this skill have no problems perceiving shapes, sizes, and the distance of objects.

It’s Never Too Late

Visual-spatial intelligence improves through the development of spatial thinking and is directly related to attentiveness. Unfortunately, only a few individuals are naturally gifted with keen eyesight. Other observant people acquire these skills during childhood. Checkers, chess, puzzles, mosaics, and building blocks are some of the ways in which children’s attentiveness and observation skills grow.

However, for those of us who grew up being scatterbrained, there’s no need to despair. An adult is also capable of training their own attentiveness to a quite satisfactory level. Comparing oneself in attentiveness to the heroes of Fenimore Cooper’s novels, of course, may no longer be possible. However, we don’t really need to do that.
