Differences of performatory and exploratory movements, ascent duration and geometric index of entropy between the first learning session of the horizontal-edge, vertical-edge, double-edge routes, and the transfer test.

	Performatory movements		Exploratory movements			Ascent duration (s)			Geometric index of entropy
	Mean	SD	Mean	SD		Mean	SD		Mean	SD
Horizontal-edge route	21.1	0.9	0.2	0.4	*F(1, 8) = 5.8, P = 0.044, ${\eta }_{\text{p}}^2=0.43$	82.9	31.9	*F(1, 8) = 6.77, P = 0.031, ${\eta }_{\text{p}}^2=0.46$	1.04	0.10
Vertical-edge route	22.6	1.1	0.6	0.7		128.0	14.4		1.13	0.18
Double-edge route	22.8	1.6	0.6	0.7		137.0	39.2		1.33	0.15	*F(1, 8) = 11.22, P = 0.001, ${\eta }_{\text{p}}^2=0.58$
Transfer test	21.1	1.8	1.7	2.1		140.3	33.3		1.17	0.11
F-value			F(1.567, 12.538) = 5.6			F(3, 6) = 12.97			F(3, 6) = 26.24
P-value			P = 0.034			P = 0.005			P = 0.001
Effect size			${\eta }_{\text{p}}^2=0.46$			${\eta }_{\text{p}}^2=0.87$			${\eta }_{\text{p}}^2=0.93$

^*Corresponds to significant contrast tests between the first learning session of each route and the transfer test with P < 0.05.
