Figure 3. Effects of the broader spatial environment, active navigation, and the passive visual experience of navigation, in RSC and OPA.

Figure 3.

(A) Difference scores indexing representation of the broader spatial environment were calculated by subtracting the response to simple maze navigation from that to complex maze navigation, separately for the active and passive navigation conditions. RSC showed robust responses to information about the broader environment during active, but not passive navigation, while OPA did not respond differently to complex versus simple mazes, nor to active versus passive navigation. (B) Difference scores indexing representation of the passive experience of navigation through scenes were calculated by subtracting the response to the no navigation condition (i.e., simply looking at the maze, without moving through it) from that to the passive navigation condition. OPA responded significantly more than RSC to the passive visual experience of navigation. * p<0.05, *** p<0.001. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean. Distributions of individual data are overlaid on each bar plot.
