I read this on PsychCentral. It is fun. I tried it many times and it still happens.
While sitting, lift your right foot off the ground and make clockwise circles. Then with your right hand, draw the number 6 in the air. Your foot will change directions!

Isn't it wild? :P
I can't get my foot to stay clockwise. LOL I tried and tried. Must have something to do with how our brains are wired. LOL
Can anyone keep their foot clockwise?

That is wild, Deneb.
I was able to keep it clockwise only once...very slowly. Almost impossible to keep it from changing directions!
I wonder who came up with that one? Probably some smart little kid! I'll have to see if my little one can do it. :)Ava
Okay, I just had her try it. Wow...she can do it effortlessly! I wonder what that says about her? She is a "unique" little kid though. lol

Oh wow! I wonder if it has to do with handedness? I have no idea. LOL
Is your daughter right or left handed?
Maybe us old people can't do it. LOL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hey, speak for yourself, Deneb! Didn't I tell you I'm only 19? lol.
She's right-handed. I just asked her how she's doing it, and she said
it's because she plays the piano and dances(she's quite coordinated.)I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but she consistently gets
near perfect scores on Spatial Test Battery.
