Sue, Simon et al have a paper about spatial visualisation that is worth to have a look. The title is "Predictors of Success in a First Programming Course" and appeared at the Eighth Australasian Computing Education Conference (ACE2006), Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, January 2006.

I have just had my paper entitled "Spatial skills and navigation of source code" accepted for the ITiCSE conference. One of the questions I have been asked is if spatial ability correlates with program development ability, an area not looked at in my study (I focussed on program comprehension/reading). Does anyone know of any work showing correlations between the ability to read and write code? And if there is any work to show a relationship between WRITING code and navigational/spatial ability?
