“…As the patient moved, she employed her visual sense to search for cues that will lead her to the destination. As she looked around, she might have seen so many things, as part of the act of reading the environment (Carpmant & Grant, 2016;Mustikawati et al, 2017).

These searches involved reading the surrounding environment by using visual senses to search and selecting the objects that carry information that will guide the next action.…”
