DOMINANT DIRECTION OF CONJUGATE LATERAL EYE MOVEMENTS AND RESPONSIVENESS T O FACIAL A N D VERBAL CUES1 WAYNE W. CROUCH Michigan State U n i v e r s i t ~ Sftmmary.-Responsiveness to facial versus verbal cues as a function o f dominant direction of conjugate lateral eye movements and sex was tested in a 2 x 2 analysis of variance design. Ss were 8 1 student volunteers. Right-movers ( n = 33) were more responsive to verbal cues; left-movers ( n = 4 5 ) were more responsive to facial cues ( p . 0 5 ) . The results are consistent with the hypothesized link between conjugate lateral eye movem2nts and functional asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres. Males were more responsive to verbal cues; females were more responsive to facial cues ( p .05). Data reievant to reliability of the eye movements, the relationship berween sex and eye movements, and the relationship between type of question and eye movements are also ~resented.
