What does it mean when you ask a person a question and their eyes go rapidly side to side?

Answers:
Ah, a great question!It was mentioned that in psychology a person is lying if they look up to the left. SOMETIMES it is true.A person's eyes actually try to "look" at the brain where the answer is coming from. A person who remembers things visually (photographic memory) will look at all parts of their brain to find the answer. And when the info is found, their eyes will sweep back and forth while reading.
This behavior can be seen when watching movies. Some actors will quickly look side to side when talking (in some scenes) because they are "reading their lines". Directors try to get the actors to stop doing that, because it is "annoying to the audience".Some people look down and to the right. These people are auditory learners. They are looking at the memory, and then their eyes glance left quickly as they are intrepreting the memory.A person who remembers by doing will look down. This downward glance means that they can remember by "looking at their hands doing the work". Then they will look up to interpret.

Maybe their stupid, or they don't know the answer.

It's actually a sign that they're not telling the truth. Looking side to side or up and to the left is usually a invulintary reaction caused when "making up an answer" I hope I helped some.

there is something called nystagmus ( a rapid eye movement) due to a disease in their inner ears due to a severe infection or radiation due to tumour in the face or neck where the rays affect the inner ear

Looking up and to the left or up and to the right is called a contralateral eye movement or CLEM. As was mentioned above, it can be indicitive of cortical laterality -- in other words, which side of the brain that the person is using when considering the answer to the question.Nystagmus is an eye movement that typically has two phases: a fast phase and a slow phase. If you want to see nystagmus, do the following. Take a friend, sit them down on a desk chair, and spin the chair in circles for ten or twenty rotations and then stop . Ask your friend to try to stair at something on the wall. They will have difficulty with this task. Their eyes will move quickly in the direction of the chair's rotation and then slowly back in the opposite direction to the chair's rotation.There are a lot of different reasons why a person would develop nystagmus including inner ear problems. The sobriety test where the cop asks the driver to follow his finger is a test for nystagmus. This test is trying to ellicit gaze-evoked nystgmus. As the cop moves his finger to the far right and the far left of the driver's visual field, if the driver has been drinking, his eyes will exhibit nystgmus.A lot of patients with disabilities have constant nystagmus making it difficult or impossible to fixate on anything.
