Abstract

Using telemetry, heart rates were measured on 20 male seventh graders during the reading of two selections, a science fiction story and a selection from a history book. Heart rates during the science fiction selection were significantly lower than during the historical selection. Further, the mean heart rates changed significantly during different parts of each story.
