Lateral eye movements (LEMs) were recorded in normal subjects to verbal and spatial questions in the dark using infra-red recording techniques to assess whether clearer LEM-question type relationships are observed when the potentially confounding effects of visual stimulation are absent. Verbal questions elicited more rightward LEMs than spatial questions. However, spatial questions were not associated with leftward LEMs. It is argued that while infra-red recording techniques may be optimal for recording LEMs to verbal questions, the above results question the generalizability of strong LEM-spatial relationships obtained for a single blind subject by GRIFFITHS and WOODMAN [Neuropsychologia 23, 257-262, 1985].
