    Adults can perceive spatial changes without sight, but visual experience is crucial for developing this nonvisual sensitivity. This sensitivity is enhanced by actual movement, especially for those with prior vision.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Human Spatial Navigation

    Background:

    • Humans possess nonvisual sensitivity to locomotion and resulting perspective changes.
    • This sensitivity relates to the network of directions and distances to environmental objects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate nonvisual sensitivity to perspective structure changes during locomotion.
    • To determine the role of visual experience in developing sensitivity to occluded perspective changes.

    Main Methods:

    • Experiment 1: Assessed adults' ability to track perspective structure changes without visual or auditory cues.
    • Experiment 2: Compared sighted, late-blinded, and early-blinded adults' judgments of perspective changes.
    • Participants imagined or physically moved to a new observation point.

    Main Results:

    • Adults automatically update their perspective structure without sensory cues.
    • Sighted and late-blinded individuals showed improved perspective judgments after locomotion, unlike early-blinded individuals.
    • Imagining a new viewpoint yielded similar results across all groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Visual experience is vital for developing nonvisual sensitivity to perspective structure changes.
    • Locomotion significantly enhances this sensitivity, particularly for individuals with a history of vision.
    • Nonvisual spatial updating relies on prior visual experience for optimal development.
