Abstract
Neurologically normal individuals demonstrate leftward biases in tasks of line bisection and judgments of brightness, numerosity, and size. Normals also report and demonstrate a right-sided bias when bumping into objects. Collectively, these results suggest that normals relatively neglect the right hemispace. The present experiment investigated the possibility that normals will also demonstrate leftward biases for judgments of distance. Participants viewed two equivalent but mirror-reversed three-dimensional shapes ("boxes" and "pyramids") of various orientations, sizes, and angles, making judgments about the perceived closeness of the stimuli. Significant leftward biases were exhibited for judgments of the closeness of boxes, but not for pyramids. The findings of the current study support the hypothesis that the normal tendency to bump into objects with the right side of one's body might be due to a perceptual asymmetry for distance judgments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
