✦ Synopsis

Sequence and direction in which 65 normal Ss drew the lines and dots of the Bender-Gestalt figures were recorded. Contrary to the suggestion of Hutt and Briskin, Ss do not typically draw closed figures in a counter-clockwise direction, nor do they always draw verticals downward. It is not unusual for S to draw one figure clockwise and another counter-clockwise. The context (presence of a second figure) seems to affect how S will draw.
