Abstract
Two experiments examined the degree to which external stimulus factors and actual HR influence judgments of HR, general accuracy of estimated HR, and self‐perceptions of accuracy. Both studies employed a heartbeat tracking technique while subjects viewed a series of slides (Experiment 1) or were engaged in various tasks (Experiment 2). The results indicated that HR judgment is more dependent on external stimuli than on actual HR. No settings increased the generally poor levels of accuracy of estimated HR. The results indicate that HR estimation is dependent to a large degree on an inference process.
