Description	Large head movements crossing the object side to side, exploring its entire area.	Large head movements crossing the object side to side, exploring only parts of its area.	Small head movements going in and out of the object's surface, exploring its entire perimeter.	Small head movements going in and out of the object's surface, exploring only parts of its perimeter.
Metacognitive data	I felt as if I was painting the shape with my gaze. I was filling in the shape as I heard the sounds. So I moved over the shape to paint it whole (Participant N° 6).	It was like painting strokes to uncover the shape. You couldn't make fine moves. I painted a few in some places to find out which shape it was (Participant N° 4).	I moved from the center toward the edges and then I begun to realize what shape it was. I went back and forth many times on all sides (Participant N° 1).	My strategy was to search for the tips of the shape. I started from the outside and moved into the shape. (Participant N° 8).
