Abstract
Previous research on domain expertise in spatial reasoning has documented that some individuals such as dancers, can acquire spatial information more easily than others due to skills (e.g., control of optical flow) they had developed from practicing in certain tasks. This project aims to explore in a more systematic fashion spatial skills in experienced and novice dancers using neuroimaging methods (MRI scanning) and tasks in Virtual Reality.
