This paper argues that spatial skills testing and training interventionsare a misuse of the time and energy of people who want to help women and other historicallyexcluded students succeed in engineering. We must reframe our interventions withoutperpetuating deficit models about cognitive abilities like “spatial skills,” a construct which, inspite of its wide popularity in the STEM education community, has been very poorly formulated.References[1] S.
