Figure 2

The distribution of targets, responses, and the biases shown. The left column shows the distribution of targets. The targets themselves are the blue dots (opacity 25%). The purple item (square or line) shows where we would expect the bias to point if it were controlled by the local beacons. The green item (diamond or circle) is placed on the prior mode, the place (or set of places) with the highest prior probability. The middle column shows the distribution of responses. On the right, distances to the beacon (left) or prior mode (right) can be seen for both targets (blue) and responses (orange). In essence, a shorter orange bar means a bias towards that feature, and a bias towards the prior mode would suggest allocentric prior use was occurring. Error bars are 95% confidence intervals. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
