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? What we shall see is 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 in common.
