Front views of the familiar (F) contexts (top) and the novel (N) contexts (center) for 3 experiments with a varying degree of contextual difference. Bottom: top-view layouts of visual cues and wall transitions in the N contexts. In the highly dissimilar N context, there is a higher number of visual cues with different patterns compared to the F context. In the dissimilar N context, the number or positions of visual cues are the same as in the F context, but the patterns of visual cues are novel. In the similar N context, the number or positions of visual cues are the same as in the F context. Only the pattern of a visual cue is different from the F context (green circles vs. blue-filled squares36).
