space-sense

from The Century Dictionary.

• noun In psychology: A sense which mediates perceptions of space.
• noun A term formed on the analogy of ‘light-sense,’ ‘pressure-sense,’ etc., to denote the capacity of space-perception. It is doubly misleading, since it implies that our simplest spatial experiences are sensations as specific as those of color or pressure, and also suggests that we are endowed with a sense-organ of space, as we are with an organ of vision, etc.
