Santa Barbara Sense of Direction (SBSOD) scale (Hegarty et al., 2002) Each statement has the following possible responses, where a greater average value indicates greater perceived sense of direction. Unless specified in statements, the scoring is as follows: - 1-Strongly Agree (1) - 2 (2) - 3 (3) - 4-Neither Agree nor Disagree (4) - 5 (5) - 6 (6) - 7-Strongly Disagree (7) Participants are given the following prompt, followed by 15 statements: For the following task, please answer each question as it pertains to yourself normally, that is, not in the context of this experiment. This questionnaire consists of several statements about your spatial and navigational abilities, preferences, and experiences. After each statement, you should select a number to indicate your level of agreement with the statement. Choose "1" if you strongly agree that the statement applies to you, "7" if you strongly disagree, or some number in between if your agreement is intermediate. Select "4" if you neither agree nor disagree. 1. I am very good at giving directions. (reverse-scored) 2. I have a poor memory for where I left things. 3. I am very good at judging distances.
