Abstract
Among mathematicians (10 professors, 24 students) those 19 who looked left while reflecting used more imagery, were more artistically diverse and were rated as more creative than the 13 who looked right. Among 20 laymen (nonstudents) 10 left-movers had higher RAT scores and made more extreme aesthetic ratings than the right-movers. The nondominant hemisphere seems implicated.Keywords
