**Exclusion Criteria:** - Any straightlined responses on the survey questionnaires will be immediately flagged and all data will be removed from analyses. - *Seriousness check*: Subjects who indicate they did not take the study seriously will have their data removed from analyses. - *Attention check*: anyone who has a response completely off from how they originally responded will have their data removed from analyses (e.g., if the open-ended response is gibberish or completely blank). **Variable Coding:** - **SBSOD:** average score of all 15 items in the scale (from 1-7), where a higher score indicates higher self-reported sense of direction. Positively worded items are reverse-scored (score of 1 is recoded to 7, 2 to 6, etc.) before averaging. - **Spatial anxiety:** average score of all 13 questions, where a higher score indicates greater spatial anxiety. - **Growth Mindset in Navigation:** Average score of all 8 items in the scale, where a higher score indicates greater growth mindset. Positively worded items are reverse-scored (score of 1 is recoded to 7, 2 to 6, etc.) before averaging. - **Exploration Tendency:** average score of all 8 items in the scale, where a higher score indicates greater tendency to explore. Positively worded items are reverse-scored (score of 1 is recoded to 7, 2 to 6, etc.) before averaging. - **GPS Reliance:** average score of all 8 items in the scale, where a higher score indicates greater reliance on using GPS in navigation scenarios. - **GPS Usage:** Coding varies depending on the nature of analyses, but usage for each functionality can be averaged based on familiarity level, distance, or across all navigation scenarios per functionality. Scores range from 0-2, where a higher score indicates greater reported usage for that functionality. - **Mindfulness:** average score of all 15 items in the scale (from 1-6), where a higher score indicates higher self-reported mindfulness. - **Virtual SILCton Performance** (aggregate of all scores, transformed into z-scores): - **Onsite Pointing Ability in Virtual SILCton:** Average angular error of trials, where a lower average error indicates better performance. Each trial angular error calculation: abs(actual angle - subject angle estimate). If this value is greater than 180 degrees, then the angular error calculation = 360-(abs(actual angle - subject angle estimate)). Items are categorized into 2 groups (buildings either within the same routes or between different routes), then averaged based on their grouping. In total, subjects will have 2 scores: 1 score with the averaged angular error of within-route buildings (24 items) and 1 score with the averaged angular error of between-route buildings (32 items). - **Map Reconstruction Ability in Virtual SILCton:** The difference between the participant's perceived XY coordinates of a building's location on a grid and the actual XY coordinates of the respective building's location. A bidimensional regression is conducted (Friedman & Kohler, 2003) to determine the similarity between the subject’s perceived XY coordinates of the 8 buildings in the environment and their actual XY coordinates. A higher correlation indicates greater similarity of the perceived map reconstruction and actual map layout. - **Perspective Taking Ability in the Spatial Orientation Test:** Average angular error of all trials, where a lower average error indicates better performance. Each trial angular error calculation: abs(actual angle - subject angle estimate). If this value is greater than 180 degrees, then the angular error calculation = 360-(abs(actual angle - subject angle estimate)). All 12 items will be calculated and then averaged.
