Lateral eye-movements, field dependence and denial. 1982

R A Pierro, and L Goldberger

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.
