Two experiments evaluated the effects of simple or winding short trajectories on the capacity of 60 male and female undergraduates to indicate the right direction that the trajectories began. In Experiment 1, 40 participants were distributed in four groups (Only-stairs, Only-elevator, Stairs-then-elevator ,and Elevator-then-stairs), received a tag and should go by stairs or elevator, depending on the group, from the ground floor to the first floor in a building where they answered two questions: 1) "Do you remember where you got the tag? Using your arm, point the direction" and 2) “How do you know?” Then they were asked to pick up a pen in the other corner of the room and go to the second floor where they answered the same two questions but related to pen delivery location. In Experiment 2, 20 participants were distributed in two groups (Only-elevator and Only-stairs) and should go from the ground floor to the second floor, where they answered the same two questions asked in Experiment 1. In Experiment 1, 12 participants failed to point the right direction on the first floor. On the second floor, all the participants point the direction correctly. In Experiment 2, three participants failed to point the right direction. No statistical differences were found between men and women as well as between the use of the stairs or elevator. In response to a questionnaire about their own perception of the sense of direction and anxiety levels when lost in an unknown location more men self-reported having a good sense of direction and more women reported feeling anxious when they perceive themselves lost in an unknown location. It was discussed that the task difficulty, the duration ,and length of the procedure could be affected the results.
