Hemispheric Interaction

The direction and frequency of lateral eye-movements and frequency of midline crossovers, while reflecting on selected questions, are related to college major. Students in language-related fields produce larger ratios of right to left lateral movements, and fewer left movements, than do other students. Students in visual arts produce greater total numbers of movements as well as more frequent midline crossovers. Moreover, cognitive demands of questions (verbal or nonverbal) influence direction of movement most prominently in students majoring in other than art and language-related fields. Results are discussed in terms of cognitive mode, hemispheric interaction, and choice of college major.

The Right

Verbal and numerical questions elicited significantly more lateral eye-movements to the right than did spatial and musical questions for 48 college students. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that lateral eye-movement is related to the functional organization of the cerebral hemispheres. Contrary to expectations, asking the questions in homogeneous sets as opposed to a mixed list did not produce more eye-movements in the predicted direction for each cognitive mode. Males tended to make more right-movements than females on all four types of questions.

Lateral Eye-Movements, Field Dependence and Denial

Cognitive Mode

Conjugate lateral eye-movements can be used to classify some people into two distinct groups (left-movers and right-movers), who differ on various cognitive and personality variables reflecting stylistic reliance on the cognitive mode of a single hemisphere. In this study left-movers relied more heavily on denial as a defense. Field dependence tended to be related to both denial and left eye-movements by males but not females. The results are discussed in terms of a possible neuropsychological substrate for denial.
