The aim of this review is to analyze theoretical and methodological issues concerning the study of visuo-spatial abilities. Through an examination of the literature on this topic, some problems connected with the measurement and the interpretation of this ability are discussed. Firstly, the review analyzes some issues related to models proposed for the identification of visuo-spatial cognitive factors. Secondly, problems concerning visuo-spatial representation and possible strategies for the solution of visuo-spatial tasks are discussed. Finally, on the ground of these analysis, some theoretical implications and methodological indications for future research and the construction of new tests are suggested.
