Fig. 3.

A typical distribution of right forelimb paw prints recorded from one animal (N3) during 10 walking trials performed in each condition: on a flat surface (simple locomotion) and along ladders with crosspieces 18, 12, and 5 cm wide (complex locomotion). View from above. The direction of the cat's progression is shown by the arrow on the top. For simple locomotion, paw prints are adjusted to start in the same position. For ladder tasks, note similarly small variability of paw prints at the start of walkway (±2 cm in the direction of progression). The first paw placement during ladder-5 locomotion was between the crosspieces. Ellipses enclose approximate areas in which 95% of paw prints were found.
