“…However, the difficulty across trials and discriminating power may vary due to differential availability and saliency of navigation cues such as landmarks and street structure in different trials (Caduff & Timpf, 2008;Röser et al, 2012;Sorrows & Hirtle, 1999), and people may be differentially susceptible to these factors (Andersen et al, 2012;Barhorst-Cates et al, 2021;Coutrot et al, 2022;He et al, 2021;Lawton, 2001;Weisberg & Newcombe, 2016). Ignoring reliability may mislead researchers to conclude a dissociation between the abilities measured by two tasks based on a low correlation, when, in fact, that low correlation is due to the low reliability of the individual measures (Ackerman & Hambrick, 2020;Hedge et al, 2018;Parsons et al, 2019;Newcombe et al, 2023). Ignoring inadequate discriminating power leads to the pitfall that the reported results are only applicable to a subset of the population, whereas others are out of scope due to ceiling or floor effects (Cramer & Howitt, 2005;Kang & MacDonald, 2010;Newcombe et al, 2023).…”
