“…The interfinger correlations ranged from .69 to .80 and are similar to those considered satisfactory for experimentation in other studies (Haywood & Shoemaker, 1963;Lore, 1966). Measurements from the middle right (Baseline) and the middle left finger (Criterion) were separated in time by roughly 2 min., and measurements from the middle left and the right ring finger (Terminal) were separated by roughly 5 min.…”

“…The results of this study extend to 6-yr.-olds the finding by Lore (1966) of substantial reliability on the palmar sweat index with 7-yr.-olds, and add that re-liability does not appear to be related to socioeconomic status, area of residence, or early school experience.…”

“…Measurements on the palmar sweat index obtained contingent upon a stress manipulation with children have been collected in but a single study, reported by Lore (1966). hfeasurements of second grade boys and girls over 15 days were obtained from the four fingers of the right hand.…”

St~mmary.-The purpose of this smdy was to determine the extent to which failure precipitates physiological arousal (palmar sweating) in kindergarten children. High interfinger and interobserver reliability were reported o n measurements of palmar sweating collected from children of varying socioeconomic, residential, and early school backgrounds; however, for none of these children did palmar sweating increase differentially contingent upon failure as contrasted with success. The lack of significant differences between success and failure groups may raise questions regarding the interpretation of studies with young children in which manipulations of failure are expected to affect learning or performance variables.

“…Some studies have shown increases in autonomic responses (e.g., skin conductance, heart rate, palmar sweating) to the presentation of anxiety-provoking narratives in adults (e.g., Lazarus & Alfert, 1964) and children (e.g., Lore, 1966). However, the primary focus of such studies was on the processing of narrative information rather than the physiological correlates of narrative processing and production.…”

The present study examines the associations between narrative processing, narrative production, and cardiac rate and variability in children. Heart period (HP) and vagal tone (VT) were computed for fifty-eight 7-year-olds (29 males) during a resting baseline and during epochs in which the children listened to and completed a selected set of story-stems from the MacArthur Story-Stem Battery (I. Bretherton, D. Oppenheim, H. Buchsbaum, R. N. Emde, & the MacArthur Narrative Group, 1990). Significant decreases in HP and VT were observed between a resting baseline and epochs of story-stem presentation by the experimenter. In addition, HP was shorter and VT lower during children's narrative production to emotionally laden story-stems compared with narration to a neutral story-stem. Furthermore, narrative and cardiac responses to stories containing separation-reunion themes reflected increased emotional and cognitive load compared with responses to stories that did not contain such themes. Finally, children who showed VT suppression in response to emotion-laden stories produced more coherent and adaptive narratives compared to those of children who did not show VT suppression. The findings suggest interplay between the cognitive-emotional processes associated with narrative processing and production and cardiac activation patterns.

“…This measure was significantly related to self-reported general fears and to self-reported specific fears, as reported on the Children's Fear Survey Schedule (Melamed et aI., 1978). In addition, it displays high interrater reliability (.90) (Melamed et al, 1978) and reasonable test-retest reliability (.64 over I-day retest and .60 over a IS-day interval) (Lore, 1966).…”
