3.4 Orientation

Orientation is the individual's ability to locate oneself in relation to the dimensions of time and space. It represents also the individual’s ability to receive stimulus coming from several sensorial inputs (sight, hearing, smell, touch),assimilate those inputs and provide the adequate answer (output).
