“…Such asymmetries with a bias towards the right side were shown on a number of behaviors, including the higher probability of turning to the right when kissing (Barrett, Greenwood, & McCullagh, 2006), the tendency to turn right in a T-maze (Scharine and McBeath, 2002), and others. An example of the lateral bias that is most relevant to our case, because it also depicts bias in choice from the display, is a tendency to choose theatre seats from the right side of the seating chart (Karev, 2000), which was confirmed by actual seating behavior (Harms, Reese, and Elias, 2014). We consider the possibility of the lateral bias interpretation due to the fact that green-yellow, red, violet, and blue-violet spectra that represent hue biases across all stimuli were situated on the right side of the HSV color wheel used in the study.…”

The objective of the present study was to explore cross-modal associations between color and tactile sensation while using haptically rendered virtual stimuli with substance properties of roughness/smoothness, hardness/softness, heaviness/lightness, elasticity/inelasticity, and adhesiveness/ nonadhesiveness. The stimuli with the indicated properties were rendered with the aid of SensAble PHANTOM OMNI® haptic device. The experimental setup required the participants to use exploratory procedures typical to real object interaction, and select a color from the HSV color space that matched the experienced sensation. The findings of our investigation reveal systematic mapping between color characteristics and intensity of the haptic stimuli. Qualitatively different haptic sensations, however, produced relatively similar patterns of cross-modal associations.

“…The rightward bias in seat choice was replicated in other laboratories (Weyers, Milnik, Muller, & Pauli, 2006). However, it should be noted that Karev (2000) did not manipulate any emotional and expectancy factors, and thus, it is necessary to test his assumptions empirically. In fact, Weyers et al (2006) argued that the rightward bias in seat choice can be explained by the general right-side preferences of right-handers.…”

Right movies on the right seat: Laterality and seat choice

Various forms of lateral preferences are found in human behaviour. Conducting two experiments, we investigated the lateral preference for seat choice exhibited by people at the movie theatre. The righthanded participants (N ¼ 269) tended to choose seats to the right of the screen when they were positively motivated to see the movie. This rightward bias disappeared when they were negatively motivated. In addition, the non-right-handed participants (N ¼ 105) did not show any substantial bias in their seat choice. It is well known that visual and emotional information is better processed in the right hemisphere. Considering the visual and emotional nature of movie experiences, the rightward seating bias among right-handers appears to be determined by their motivation to effectively utilize their right-hemisphere functions.

“…Humans encounter difficulties in mentally accommodating themselves to the direction of maps and, thus, are vulnerable to the misalignment of maps during way-finding (Aretz & Wickens, 1992;Levine, 1982;Levine et al, 1984;MacEachren, 1992;Pèruch & Lapin, 1993;Warren, 1994; for a review see Lobben, 2007). Recently, Weyers, Milnik, Muller, and Pauli (2006) replicated the results of Karev (2000) indicating that people prefer the right-side seats (in reference to the screen) in a theatre, but only when the screen positions are at the top or right of the maps. When the screen is positioned at the bottom of the maps, participants prefer the left-side seats (in reference to the screen on bottom of the map).…”

Turn right or turn left? Heuristic of adhering to the direction of destination

It has been found that humans not only tend to avoid the middle routes and prefer the peripheral routes among multiple choices, but also rely on the 'initial segment strategy' to select the route. In this paper, we propose a new heuristic which humans apply during route selection: Participants prefer the route whose initial direction lies in the direction of their final destination, while avoiding the route whose initial direction does not. Four maps were designed. The pathways, on different maps, constituted a parallelogram, a rectangle and a square. Pedestrians were instructed to select a route from an origin to a destination on one of the maps. The results confirm the application of the newly proposed heuristic. Other possible factors, such as handedness, route angles and occurrence of turns were excluded. Moreover, the heuristics of deferring decision and relying on initial straightness are not supported.
