Abstract
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.Keywords
