Hemishpheric Arousal
There are different parts in the human brain that contribute to the way we think, behave, and feel, each situated in its own area of either the left hemisphere or the right hemisphere. From this, a theory has developed that when we think, depending on what we are thinking about determines which way our eyes will shift and recognise whether we are lying or stating the truth. Language and arithmetic abilities are controlled by the left hemisphere, so when someone is thinking about something to do with these subjects, they tend to look to the right. The right hemisphere consists of spatial and drawing abilities therefore when something of this kind is aroused, the subject should gaze to the left. Each action is the opposite of what one would think because through the human eyes, it is the opposite to what it is like on the other side of the optic nerves. It is t
My results relate to the theory when it came to left hemispheric arousal because the average subject looked to the right when thinking about the answer, but when it came to right hemispheric arousal my results rejected the theory. Although I cannot explain why this has happened, I can say that had the experiment been conducted in a different environment with no distractions, and more complicated questions, the results would have changed, possibly to support the theory. The hypothesis for this experiment is to find out whether subjects solving different hemispheric questions (IV) will demonstrate the appropriate eye gaze (DV) that is needed to support the theory. The only criticisms that I have for this theory are that the human eye cant just look left and right. It can also look up, down, and straight ahead. So tell me, how do you determine which hemis
