Field study of eye glance and laterality.

Because most experiments on lateral eye movement and laterality are done with one parochially based group, it was wondered if percentages of laterality and consistency of glance would be consistent in disparate groups. Five questions eliciting preference, recall, cognition, space and imagination modes of thought were asked of 140 people who made up six groups: randomly selected citizens, children, artists, people-helpers, law-keepers and law-breakers. Results showed significant differences from the norm in three groups and variability within questions.
