Eye and head turning indicates cerebral lateralization.

When solving verbal problems, right-handed people usually turn head and eyes to the right, whereas with numerical and spatial problems, these people look up and left. Left-handed people differ in all these respects. The results suggest that the direction in which people look while thinking reflects the lateralization of the underlying cerebral activity.

Contrasting patterns of memory span decrement in ageing and aphasia.

As compared with young adult controls, elderly subjects matched for verbal ability showed only a minor deficit in mean auditory letter memory span but proportionately more dependence upon the occurrence of letter groupings prevalent in the written language. An aphasic group that also had a relatively limited mean letter span conversely made no detectable use at all of such groupings. These findings suggest that the aged tend if anything towards undue assimilation of information into preformed schemata, while aphasics accommodate to individual messages without evidence of such organization.
