player is not performing an intermittent search as it has been defined in the literature before [@Benichou2011]. The differences lie in two points. First, in our study the switch between reorientation modes is triggered by the external cue instead of taking place at random. Second, the detection of the target may take place in both phases instead of being limited to the extensive one. Regarding to the type of motion, we study, however, a spatially intermittent search since the player performs a saltatory trajectory in which the target can be found only if the searcher lands on it. This differs from the case of a cruise forager who looks for targets while moving and that would constitute a completely different study.

Regarding the turn angles, both the extensive (before the first encounter with a yellow cell) and the intensive phases (after detecting the first yellow cell) show correlations between subsequent turn angles (Fig. \[fig:blindexp\]b,c, respectively). This could indicate that the strategies are not completely random but contain some systematic features. In fact, a frequent strategy consists of tracing a series of short jumps in the same direction. To reduce searching times players show a tendency to scan a direction doing
