However, the results were well aligned with theories of embodied cognition and previous research indicating that low spatial students can perform as well as high spatial students when given the appropriate supports (Sanchez & Wiley, 2010, 2014; Stieff, Dixon, Ryu, Kumi, & Hegarty, 2014).
While providing visualizations to learners does not always help the low spatial students to learn more (Höffler, 2010), sometimes it fulfills a compensatory role such that low spatial students' understanding benefits from the external support or grounding that is provided by visualizations.
