Conjugate Lateral Eye Movements: An Examination of Recall, Creation, and Fabrication

Indianapolis, IN

Do people shift their eyes in a consistent direction when trying to recall information from their past; does that direction change when trying to fabricate or create a reality that does not exist? Does gender or left/right handiness affect where participants look when recalling or creating information? The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Conjugate Lateral Eye Movements on recall, creation and gaze. This study will have 80 college participants from a Midwestern university. A series of questions will be used to prompt participants to both recall information from their past and to create information that does not exist.
