"«Хорошая» литература, то есть произведения, отмеченные литературоведами различными премиями или причисленные к классике, способствует развитию умения понимать эмоции и намерения других людей. Люди, читавшие рассказы Чехова, показали лучшие результаты по сравнению с читателями популярных детективов. "

To measure the immediate cognitive effects of two types of fiction, Castano and Kidd designed five related experiments. In each, they asked subjects to read 10 to 15 pages of either literary or popular writing. Literary excerpts included short stories by Anton Chekhov and Don DeLillo, as well as recent winners of the PEN/O. Henry Prize and the National Book Award. For more “mainstream” selections, they looked to Amazon.com top-sellers such as Danielle Steel’s The Sins of the Mother and Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, and to anthologies of genre fiction, including a sci-fi story by Robert Heinlein.
