Figure 4

(a) Cumulative success rate for each participant as a function of trial number. Upper left: Blindfolded sighted participants in the forward condition (n = 14). Upper right: Blindfolded sighted participants in the backward condition (n = 14). In both panels, cumulative success rate for each subject is represented by a different colored line, while the group average is represented by the dashed black line. Both groups show a steep increase in accuracy within the first ten trials, after which all participants reach a plateau, maintaining a relatively stable performances for the rest of the experiment. (b) Average error rate as a function of the bin number across the experiment. Bottom left: Blindfolded sighted participants in the forward condition (n = 14). Bottom right: Blindfolded sighted participants in the backward condition (n = 14). Each bin represents the average error rate for every 10 trials, and so there are 9 bins representing the course of the 90 trials presented in the experiment. Error bars depict standard deviations from the mean. A tendency for diminishing mistakes during the experiment can be observed, especially for the backward condition.
