Story summary
- Scientists found that individuals walking alone still tend to turn left, a personal bias reported by University of Tokyo and University of Navarra researchers in Nature Communications.
- Over 200 solo walkers in a hexagonal arena showed the left-turn preference persisted across handedness, gender, eye dominance and background, and was strongest in younger children.
- Researchers suggested the bias could inform airport, museum and evacuation-route design, although its neurological cause remains unidentified.
