Abstract
Three experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that induced lateral eye-movements would differentially affect performance on creativity, spatial relations, and abstraction tasks Eye-movements were induced by having Ss take tests while wearing taped goggles. Partial confirmation of the hypothesis was obtained for male Ss only. In one study induced left-looking enhanced performance on a creativity test and in another, on a spatial relations task.Keywords
