This study aimed to investigate whether or not people whose language dictates writing from right to left or left to right would influence how these individuals would construct images visual (Maass et al., 2009). The study involved taking English speakers (writers left to right) and Arabic speakers (right to left) and observing how they would spatially construct an image of a man and a woman standing next to each other (Maass et al., 2009). English speakers have been found to consistently place the man to the left of the woman, while Arabic speakers consistently place the man to the right of the woman (Maass et al., 2009). It was concluded that English speakers' and Arabs' respective linguistic rules unconsciously influenced how they organized their images and, in extension, their thoughts (Maass et al., 2009). However, this study shows limitations, particularly in that only English and Arabic speakers were used and that gender roles may have influenced the results. This demonstrates a need for further research. However, there are further studies that support linguistic relativity. Lucy (2004) studied the intellectual tendencies of English speakers and Yucatec Maya, finding that English speakers were much more likely to group nouns into lexical groups according to
