“…Participants navigated through a VR city via a steering wheel and pedals. Here, motoric control impaired item recognition (but not spatial memory) compared to conditions of passive viewing, which in turn performed worse than the volitional control condition (see : Jebara, Orriols, Zaoui, & Berthoz, & Piolino, 2014;Plancher, Barra, Orriols, & Piolino, 2013). Relevantly, Laurent, Ensslin, and Marí-Beffa (2016) provided a critical note, in that intensive motoric control may have distracted attention from encoding.…”
