The current study investigates the impact of aging and gender on spatial navigation and wayfinding abilities, crucial skills for daily activities. The decline in these abilities with age has been well-documented, and sex differences in spatial navigation have consistently shown through the literature that men outperform women. To comprehensively explore these phenomena, the study uses various tasks, including the Directions & Orienting Assessment (DORA)-Item Response Theory (IRT), Spatial Orientation Task (SOT), Mental Rotation (MR), and working memory assessments.The DORA evaluates left/right and cardinal points orientation, reflecting participants' spatial navigation skills. SOT assesses how individuals orient themselves using different markers, providing insights into spatial orientation abilities. The MR tasks challenge participants to mentally rotate twodimensional objects, simulating real-world navigation scenarios. Working memory tasks are also administered, as these skills are essential for effective navigation. This research aims to delve deeper into sex differences by examining performance across tasks and identifying potential moderators. By critically analyzing inconsistent findings in the literature, the study strives to elucidate why sex differences exist and how various cognitive processes contribute to spatial navigation disparities. The ultimate goal is to provide valuable insights that enhance understanding and education about individual differences in spatial navigation, aiding individuals in navigating their environments more successfully.Results from independent samples t-tests revealed no significant differences between males and females in left/right (L/R) directional tasks or cardinal direction tasks. However, a repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant main effect of task type, indicating differences in performance between L/R and cardinal tasks across all participants. Correlation analysis demonstrated a moderate positive relationship between cardinal and L/R task scores. Interestingly, no significant correlations were found between sex and task performance. These findings suggest that while there are differences in
