39 Ss were asked to solve arithmetic problems and identify melodies. More lateral eye-movements were made to the right on arithmetic questions than on musical ones, in line with previous findings. Contrary to prediction, neither speed nor accuracy in answering was related to direction of eye-movement for either type of question.
