Foot trick (fun)

Posted by Deneb on June 11, 2009, at 13:39:51

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.
