The Department of Psychology is hosting a Distinguished Guest Lecturer Series event with Nora Newcombe, Ph.D. on Friday, November 6, 2009 at 12:00 p.m. in Arts and Sciences Hall Room 107.

This talk, by distinguished professor Dr. Nora Newcombe of Temple University, will review the evidence that: (1) spatial intelligence and learning are important; (2) spatial intelligence and learning can be improved, and that improvements are durable and show transfer; (3) there are sex-linked and SES-linked differences in spatial intelligence, so that addressing these differences is important for social equity; (4) spatial intelligence and learning are critically under-studied; and (5) specific educational techniques to foster spatial intelligence are within our grasp.

This program is open to all Seton Hall University faculty and students.

Partial funding for this Distinguished Guest Lecturer Series event has been provided by the College of Arts and Sciences thanks to the generous support of the President’s Advisory Council members.
