Allan, Robert W., Bailey, Robert W., McIntyre, Gregory S. and Bozza, Michelle (1991): Placement of Menu Choices. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 379-382.

These studies suggest that for certain menus there may be performance advantages in having choices placed on the right side of options. This holds for measures of both speed and accuracy. However, for some menus there is a slight advantage for having choices on the left side. Accuracy levels tended to be better with choices positioned to the right of options. The results suggest that practitioners should consider the relative positioning of options and choices in the design of user interfaces.
