Spatial Intelligence is an area in the
theory of multiple intelligences that deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye. It is defined by
Howard Gardner as a human computational capacity that provides the ability or mental skill to solve spatial problems of
navigation, visualization of objects from different angles and
space, faces or scenes recognition or to notice fine details. Gardner further explains that Spatial Intelligence could be more effective to solve problems in areas related to realistic, thing-oriented, and investigative occupations. This capability is a brain skill that is also found in people with visual impairment. As researched by Gardner, a blind person can recognize shapes in a non-visual way. The spatial reasoning of the blind person allows them to translate tactile sensations into mental calculation of length and visualisation of form.
