a Path 1 from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Participants were guided along and stopped at each of the three target art pieces - the watermelon painting, panther statue, and railcar painting. They pointed to each target from the end of path 1 during recall. Each path was similarly complex with many turns into alcoves. Rather than turning sharply right or left, the paths necessitated smoother curved turns. At any point along the path, the possible choices for routes varied (i.e., to go straight, turn right into an alcove, go straight then turn right and circle back around an alcove, etc.), which made the paths less predictable and structured in nature. b Path 2 from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. c Path 3 from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. d Path 4 from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts
