body language

Looking directly and maintaining eye contact is generally regarded as a sign of truthfulness But be careful many liars are experts at faking this signal

Looking sideways generally suggests sounds; looking left suggests recalling or remembering. This could also indicate that the person is recalling what has been said by another person.

When looking down left it indicates thinking about things through self-talk - concerning an outward view. Looking downwards right indicates the inward feelings view.

When a person looks left and up it is related to accessing memory in the brain, instead of creating or imagining. It is a reassuring sign if signalled when the person is recalling and stating facts.

When a person looks right and down it is a creative signal but not a fabrication - it can convey that the person is probably self-questioning his/her feelings about something.

The upwards right eye movement can be a sign of dodging. Related to imagination and creative (right-side) parts of the brain, this can be a warning sign of fabrication if a person is supposed to recall and state facts

When you are moving your eyes sideways it indicates imagining (right) or recalling sounds.

Some people can control their outward body language to give the impression they seek to create at the time. This is sheer deception. A confident firm handshake, or direct eye contact, are examples of signals which can quite easily be 'faked' - usually temporarily, but sometimes more consistently.

Considering the temperament and situation one should assess the body language. Especially when assessing the strength of signals and meanings - it's important to do so in relative terms.

Recalling and and then stating 'facts' from memory in appropriate context often equates to telling the truth. Whether the memories or 'facts' are correct is another matter. Looking Left downwards indicates silent self-conversation or self-talk, typically in trying to arrive at a decision.
