You know when you're reading a story, and two characters (for the sake of argument let's call them "John" and "Rodney") are placed in proximity to one another, either seated or on a bed or what have you... you know how you picture it? And then the author gets more specific -- John puts his left hand on Rodney's thigh, for example -- and you blink and realize that even though you haven't been told who was on which side of whom, YOU PICTURED IT RIGHT ANYWAY?

Why does that happen? Random chance would dictate that you would guess wrong half the time, but it seems to me that I'm almost always picturing it correctly. WEIRD.

cupidsbow and I are wondering about my last post and whether we have a predisposition to think of characters' relative positions based on left/right brain dominance. So! A highly scientific poll!

I can't post all the data for the questions in the poll itself (because LJ is cool like that) so I'm afraid you'll have to scroll up and down a bit.
