Abstract
The relationship between direction of gaze and creativity was studied using a modified measure of lateral eye movement which recorded the total time of gaze rather than initial direction of gaze only. Twelve subjects were presented the Uses Test and the Remote Associates Test orally while direction of gaze was monitored. Analysis yielded a high positive correlation between left gaze and upward gaze for the Uses Test scores while directional gaze did not correlate with Remote Associates Test performance. These findings would have been obscured if the conventional method of recording lateral eye movements had been used.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
