Default Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?

When you make a coordinated turn in an aircraft, are you taught to let your

head normal to the horizon?


I can see where your question may come from if your experience of
flying is from watching TV. In real life the passengers remain in line
with the aircraft and only the earth banks outside. There are no
forces causing you to lean either way if the turn is coordinated.
