abstract="We found that when Americans view ambiguous lateral long-range apparent motion, they exhibit a robust bias to experience leftward movement. In successive experiments, right-handers and left-handers, and left-side drivers from Japan equally manifested this leftward bias. However, bilingual viewers whose first language reads from right to left exhibited no lateral bias. Furthermore, the bilingual sample produced a significant correlation between exposure to English and extent of leftward motion bias. The findings provide strong evidence that reading habits can influence directionality in motion perception.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
