Participants incorporate irrelevant information into their graph search. A) If participants are using a global representation for search, they should be mostly sensitive to route-relevant information about the node-target shortest path (blue path). If participants are using local information for their search, they should be more sensitive to the number of route-irrelevant connections to the queried nodes (red paths). B) Regression coefficients show that the number of first degree connections is a stronger prediction of response time than the node-target distance, consistent with local search.
