Lateral eye movements to verbal and spatial questions as a function of questioner location. 1982

W B Gumm, and M K Walker, and H D Day

Fifty right-handed females thought about answer to verbal and spatial reasoning questions asked by a questioner seated either in front of or behind them. Ss in the questioner-in-front condition predominantly exhibited left lateral eye movements regardless of the question type, while the lateral eye movements of the questioner-in back Ss showed no directional trend in response to either question type. S's self-reported anxiety was not associated with lateral eye movements in either questioner-location condition.
