Results have indicated a decreasing tendency to draw circles in a clockwise direction and an increasing tendency to draw them in a counter clockwise fashion with increases in grade. Blaur labeled the developmentally less advanced, clockwise circle drawing as "torque" and firther proposed that torque was related to psychological difficulties. The present study compared the direction of circle drawing for american students japanese living in japan, and japanese living in america. Results showed that with advancing grade, american increasingly drew in a counter clockwise direction, whereas the japanese increasingly drew in a clockwise direction. Also, japanese living in america showed a less pronounced tendency to draw clockwise circles across grades than japanese living in japan. The results suggest that circle drawing movements are a function of culture and education in learning how to write.
