Ximena Cid

5th Year Ph.D. Physics Graduate Student

Research Interests: My research focuses on students' visual and spatial cognitive abilities and how those abilities correlate with success in physics and and space sciences. Physics and Space Sciences are highly spatial in nature and trying to imagine a system in your mind, manipulate that system, and then solve a problem can lead to an increase in cognitive load where the student is unable to correctly solve the problem. We collect data via assessments as well as through interviews.
