Fig. 6. Genetic and environmental variance characterizing the hierarchical structure of spatial ability.

Fig. 6

Within each blue rectangle are the ten tests that were included in the object-based spatial battery, while shaded in red are the six tests that are part of the spatial orientation battery set in a naturalistic virtual environment. Obj CS cross-section, obj 2D 2D drawing, obj PA pattern assembly, obj SR shapes rotation, obj MecR mechanical reasoning, obj PF paper folding, obj 3D 3D drawing, obj PT perspective taking, obj EM Elithorn Maze, obj Maz Mazes, SC scanning, PT perspective taking, NL navigation according to landmarks, ND navigation according to directions, RM route memory, MR map reading. Both the phenotypic (χ2 = 351.870 (101), p < 0.001, CFI = 0.953, TLI = 0.944, RMSEA = 0.041, SMRS = 0.041) and genetic (χ2 = 1681.128 (1040), p = < 0.001; CFI = 0.941; TLI = 0.944; RMSEA = 0.026; SRMR = 0.056) model provided good fit for the data.
