Sense of Direction, The Arrow and the Alphabet Lucius Waites, M.D. Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children A sense of direction indicates the ability to locate sensory impulses from the outside world and to localize them correctly and accurately. Direc- tionality refers to external space and to directions which aid human orienta- tion in space with regard to the location of sensation. Directionality and directions also assist the performance of voluntary movement such as reading, writing, dressing, surveying, giving and receiving facts about locations, etc. (Gooddy and Reinhold 1963). A sense of direction precedes and is necessary for the development of accurate spatial orientation. Spatial orientation is the ability to locate accurately and precisely one's body and its parts in relation to the external and outside world. It requires knowledge of the parts of the human body and of the relation of one part to another as well as their relation to the outside world. This orientation includes the important facility of recognizing the relations of objects in the outside world to one another and to the body of the observer. Correct identification of one's body and its parts precedes the develop- ment of a sense of direction
