“…The theory predicts that a decision is based on the combination of priors and sensory information, where the weight allocated to one or the other depends on their reliabilities, assessed by the variance of their distributions; the higher the variance, the lower the allocated weight (Ernst & Bülthoff, 2004;Maloney & Mamassian, 2009). While the theory has been mainly applied to model perception, here we apply the mechanisms to navigational behavior (see also Cheng, Shettleworth, Huttenlocher, & Rieser, 2007;Kiryakova, Aston, Beierholm, & Nardini, 2019;Nardini, Jones, Bedford, & Braddick, 2008). The probability that we have experienced a church moving is much lower than that of experiencing a moving truck.…”
