How this information is used to help you understand your clients:

Example: You are working in a warehouse as a customer service person. A staff member comes up and is quite angry about his something that has happened. You ask him “Is it something you have done?” He looks up and to the left. This would indicate a constructed image. If he had looked up to the right it would have been a remembered image. This would indicate the truthfulness of his reply.

Remember even though this is to help you communicate better to clients it is no way proof to accuse a client of misinformation or wrongful desires.
