Title: Are the claims about lying and eye direction true?

Ian McKay  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hello Naked Scientists!

I'm curious about the common claims that:

a) when people are lying they tend to look to the left;
b) when people are remembering they tend to look to the right, or look up.

Are these, and related claims, true?

Thank you for the fantastic work! I love the show (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/)!
