Abstract
Abstract:
What is the orienting response, and what does it have to do with narrative? How is narrative related to lying? And what is the motive force of narrative? I will show that the mental activity of writers creating fictions, readers reading them, liars fashioning lies, and listeners when they detect a lie, all share distinct and significant cognitive functions.
