Confusion with turning

I want to program with LabView this year, so I started learning it online. During the simple autonomous lesson where you set the speeds for the motor, I am really confused about the x and y speed inputs. If x=0.25 and y=0.5 then it turns right and if they are reversed, it turns left??? This doesn't really make sense. Is it turning with no forward movement or still moving forward, just turning a little?
