Abstract
Reflective eye movements were studied in subjects whose vocations emphasize either verbal-analytic or spatial-holistic cognitive modes: lawyers and ceramicists ( N=35). Questions demanding verbal or spatial thought were administered, and the first eye movement following the question was scored in both vertical and lateral directions. Lawyers and ceramicists differed only in the vertical direction; more up movements for ceramicists than for lawyers. The effects of question type were studied in this population and in a group of non-specialized subjects ( N=19). The results confirm our previous findings: verbal questions evoke more right movements than spatial questions. In addition, verbal questions evoked more down movements than spatial questions.
