Bold-face numbers show the mean constant error (bias) in degrees; negative numbers denote biases toward zero deg (straight ahead). Italicized numbers show the between-subject standard errors in degrees. (0–360: N = 11; 0–90: N = 10; Clock: N = 21; Eyes Closed Pointing: N = 21; Eyes Open Pointing: N = 16)
