Nowadays GPS devices can help people find their way around, but drivers do still get lost. Temple psychologist Nora Newcombe says you can learn how to become better at getting from point A to point B. She says that spatial learning influences our ability to do math, science — and to find our way around. Using "spatial language" — i.e., words like "behind, above, on top" — with kids as they play helps to teach them how to navigate the world. But, no matter how well your parents did on this front, Newcombe says you can still improve your spatial skills as an adult.
