abstract = {This project investigated the ways in which visual cues and
bodily cues from self-motion are combined in spatial
navigation. Participants completed a homing task in an
immersive virtual environment. In Experiments 1A and 1B, the
reliability of visual cues and self-motion cues was
manipulated independently and within-participants. Results
showed that participants weighted visual cues and
self-motion cues based on their relative reliability and
integrated these two cue types optimally or near-optimally
according to Bayesian principles under most conditions. In
Experiment 2, the stability of visual cues was manipulated
across trials. Results indicated that cue instability
affected cue weights indirectly by influencing cue
reliability. Experiment 3 was designed to mislead
participants about cue reliability by providing distorted
feedback on the accuracy of their performance. Participants
received feedback that their performance with visual cues
was better and that their performance with self-motion cues
was worse than it actually was or received the inverse
feedback. Positive feedback on the accuracy of performance
with a given cue improved the relative precision of
performance with that cue. Bayesian principles still held
for the most part. Experiment 4 examined the relations among
the variability of performance, rated confidence in
performance, cue weights, and spatial abilities.
Participants took part in the homing task over two days and
rated confidence in their performance after every trial. Cue
relative confidence and cue relative reliability had unique
contributions to observed cue weights. The variability of
performance was less stable than rated confidence over time.
Participants with higher mental rotation scores performed
relatively better with self-motion cues than visual cues.
Across all four experiments, consistent correlations were
found between observed weights assigned to cues and relative
reliability of cues, demonstrating that the cue-weighting
process followed Bayesian principles. Results also pointed
to the important role of subjective evaluation of
performance in the cue-weighting process and led to a new
conceptualization of cue reliability in human spatial
navigation.},
