Do we have a predisposition to view visual stimuli in a clockwise pattern? I understand that we typically view the center of the image first and then are likely to move on a horizontal axis, but is there evidence that we tend to follow a clockwise path when viewing more complex visual stimuli?

Alternatively, for individuals who speak languages that are read and written from right to left (Urdu, Hebrew, etc.), is there evidence that they tend toward a counterclockwise visual path?
Abed, 1991 found cultural differences in visual scanning patterns that seem to reflect differences in the languages of the cultural groups. 


Individuals from cultures with languages than may be read vertically as opposed to horizontally tended to have more vertical eye movements than individuals from cultures with horizontally-read languages.
Individuals from cultures with languages that are read right-to-left tended to show more right-to-left eye movements than individuals from cultures with languages that are read left-to-right.
