    Visuospatial reasoning refers to a diverse set of skills that involve thinking about space and time. An artificial agent with access to a sufficiently large set of visuospatial reasoning skills might be able to generalize its reasoning ability to an unprecedented expanse of tasks including portions of many popular intelligence tests. In this paper, we stress the importance of a developmental approach to the study of visuospatial reasoning, with an emphasis on fundamental skills. A comprehensive benchmark, with properties we outline in this paper including breadth, depth, explainability, and domain-specificity, would encourage and measure the genesis of such a skillset. Lacking an existing benchmark that satisfies these properties, we outline the design of a novel test in this paper. Such a benchmark would allow for expanding analysis of existing datasets’ and agents’ applicability to the problem of generalized visuospatial reasoning.

    In this paper, we present the Visuospatial Reasoning Environment for Experimentation (VREE). VREE provides a simulated environment where intelligent agents interact with virtual objects while solving different visuospatial reasoning tasks. This paper shows how VREE is valuable for studying the sufficiency of visual imagery approaches for a large number of visuospatial reasoning tasks as well as how diverse strategies can be represented and studied within a single task. We present results from computational experiments using VREE on the block design task and on numerous subtests from the Leiter-R test battery on nonverbal intelligence.
