Why humans have the ability to orient?

A study by the Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University in the US has found that human orientation is related to a rare gene in the chromosome.

According to scientists, from 18 months of age, humans have been able to visualize by thinking about the shape and layout of the surrounding space to determine where they are standing and finding the right direction. This is one of the basic human cognitive abilities and was first explained by a rare gene in the regulatory chromosome.

To demonstrate, the study was conducted on people with Williams syndrome, ie a rare disorder or defect syndrome, that occurs only in 1 / 7,500 newborns. The results show that people with this syndrome are very good at talking and social work but have difficulties with tasks such as assembling simple puzzle pieces, copying patterns and especially very poor in orientation.

They do not seem to imagine the shape and layout of extremely simple spaces, even finding things in a very sloppy way different from ordinary people.

This important study provides scientific evidence for the gene that regulates human orientation, thus paving the way for ways to improve and treat people with disabilities using ability. this.
