To study storytelling,scientists must first define what constitutes a story,and that can prove tricky. Because there are so many diverse forms,scholars often define story structure. known as narrative,by explaining what it is not. Exposition contrasts with narrative by being a simple,straightforward explanation,such as a list of facts or an encyclopedia entry. Another standard approach defines narrative as a series of causally linked events that unfold over time. A third definition draws on the typical narrative's subject matter:the interactions of intentional agents-characters with minds-who possess various motivations,
However narrative is defined,people know it when they feel it. Whether fiction or nonfiction. a narrative engages its audience through psychological realism-recognizable emotions and believable interactions among characters.
“Everyone has a natural detector for psychological realism,”says Raymond A. Mar,assistant professor of psychology at York University in Toronto. “We can tell when something rings false. ”But the best stories-those retold through generations and translated into other languages-do more than simply present a believable picture. These tales attract their audience. whose emotions can be closely tied to those of the story's characters. Such immersion(沉浸)is a state psychologists call“narrative transport”. Researchers have only begun figuring out the relations among the variables that can initiate narrative transport.
The passage indicates that storytelling______.
A.is becoming less and less popular in modem societies
B.attracts researchers' attention all through human history
C.is the best way to show the evolutionary past of human beings
D.is a common cultural phenomenon all through the known history
