Abstract
Building upon previous research, this study examined the relationship between the deployment of spatial resources in the performance of spatial tasks and the level of spatial ability possessed by subjects. Ten Air Force Academy cadets, classified as either high or low in spatial ability by paper and pencil measures, performed tasks that presumably demanded spatial resources. Both the baseline and dual task level of performance was superior for the high spatial ability group. These findings are related to a variable capacity model of processing resources.
