The NOvel Virtual Exploration and Learning Task (NOVEL-T): An Easy to Administer Task to Capture Human Spatial Exploration Behavior

2026-01-16

Abstract excerpt

<p>Exploration behavior is a multifaceted activity that is observed across species. Individuals, however, differ in their tendency to seek out and explore novelty. Understanding these differences is also relevant from a clinical perspective as exploration behavior is affected by several neurological and psychiatric disorders (including depression and anxiety disorders). Typically, individual differences in explora...
