Question 2

Hamid et al. (2010 ) had participants navigate a maze while recording their eye movements. The maze contained landmarks on the walls at corners and at other positions that would not aid maze navigation. After participants learned the maze, the researchers removed half of the landmarks. The results of this study revealed that _____.

A) performance decreased when landmarks that had been viewedlongerwere removed
B) participants did not notice that the landmarks were missing and their performance was unaffected
C) participants had been relying on all landmarks to navigate
D) performance increased when non-informative landmarks were removed
