This was in enclosed spaces, so a better way to describe it would be that everyone veers right, hits a wall, then turns left.
I used to shop at a liquidator who's prices would drop daily, so at the beginning of the day a crowd would wait outside for the store to open, then it would flood the store with everyone looking for the most valuable products.
I found that if I went clockwise around the store, I could evaluate more products faster than if I went counterclockwise, because slightly more shoppers were going counterclockwise. This matches what the study found, but I'd describe it as most shoppers turning right, when given a choice to turn in either direction, then being forced to make only left turns, when running into corners.
I wonder if the clockwise to counterclockwise ratio differs in countries with left-hand drive. The study only mentions that the average is the same in any country.
The nyt can go fudge themselves. My Students have been divided as a class into some that can use good sources like the nyt cause their parents pay and the poors who im not able to use archive for anymore. If i ever see another oped in their paper about how journalism is in danger because of xyz im going to throwup.
It's well known that people veer when they walk. That's a reason why people die in the wilderness after they get lost, because they walk around in circles going no where
