How are stories constructed? // The things we buy, the decisions we make, how we spend our time— stories govern all these actions. But how are these stories constructed? Specifically, what have we learned about how our brains make sense of and integrate new information?

Are you sure you want to
Michael Margolis, Chief Instigator at Get StoriedStephen - Bravo! this is hands down the best presentation I've ever come across that discusses storytelling, the brain, and the ways we perceive and experience reality. And I've seen hundreds of slide decks on the evolution of story. Mad props!2 years ago

“Interesting, but...”
imagination or narrative?both are overlays on whatever is “real”
People assume that they perceive reality asit is, that our senses accurately record theoutside world. Yet the science suggests that,in important ways, people experiencereality not as it is, but as they expect it to be.—Jonah Lehrer http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2008/02/the_power_of_expectations.php

LIST A FEW MOVIES PIXAR HAS MADE.
a person reads a list of words includingthe word table...later: “complete a word starting with tab”(probability that subject answers table ishigher than for non-primed people.)
Ready for the freaky stuff? literal-metaphorical confusions
Volunteers would meet one of the experimenters,believing that they would be starting the experimentshortly. In reality, the experiment began when theexperimenter, seemingly struggling with an armful offolders, asks the volunteer to briefly hold their coffee.As the key experimental manipulation, the coffee waseither hot or iced. Subjects then read a description ofsome individual... Students who had recently been cradling the warm beverage were far likelier to judge the fictitious character as warm and friendly than were those who had held the iced coffee. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/this-is-your-brain-on-metaphors/
Subjects either did or didn’t read an articleabout the health risks of airborne bacteria. Allthen read a history article that used imagery ofa nation as a living organism with statementslike, “Following the Civil War, the UnitedStates underwent a growth spurt.” Those who read about scary bacteria before thinking about the U.S. as an organism were then more likely to express negative views about immigration. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/this-is-your-brain-on-metaphors/
Volunteers were asked to evaluatethe resumes of supposed jobapplicants where, as the criticalvariable, the resume was attachedto a clipboard of one of twodifferent weights. Subjects who evaluated the candidate while holding the heavier clipboard tended to judge candidates to be more serious, with the weight of the clipboard having no effect on how congenial the applicant was judged. After all, we say things like “weighty matter” or “gravity of a situation.” http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/this-is-your-brain-on-metaphors/
