view-matching strategy ruled out in half of responses
A view-matching orientation strategy could be excluded in half of all responses
The study found that participants generally reproduced their original orientation when returning to the arena. However, because the arena geometry and their starting position changed between presentation and test, a simple view-matching account could be excluded for half of all responses. This implies that subjects relied on an abstract or landmark-based orientation cue rather than purely matching their visual scene, consistent with the overall conclusion about visual landmark matching.
Subjects also tended to adopt the same orientation at presentation and testing, although this was not due to using a view matching strategy, which could be ruled out in 50% of responses.
