The reason performance decreased when landmarks were removed that has been veiwed longer is because though the landmarks does not aid im maze navigation the participants must have solicited the help of the landmarks for other things like remembering they had passed this particular location before or at a junction in the maze since the study started so removing it will throw them into confusion especially if the maze looks the same all round
