As a group, do Muslims who face Mecca for prayer five times a day have a significantly better sense of direction than other groups of people?

I had to check and see whether there are "which way is Mecca" apps. Sure enough, there are.

reminds me of something interesting about Aboriginal Australians – they don't have words like 'left' and 'right', they use their words for the cardinal directions so naturally they are expected to know their orientation at all times. It's practically inevitable that they would have a heigthened sense of direction.
