Differences can also be reflected in regards to cultural-specific influences. An example of this influence is seen in writing Chinese characters which serves as a subtle method of spatial training thereby producing better spatial abilities just by practicing the writing forms (Li, Nuttall, & Zhu, 1999). The student learner must attend to each stroke spatially which may facilitate spatial task performance, encompassing mental imagery, vertical and horizontal spatial coordination, and visual memory (Li & Nuttal, 2001
