Paige 206 there's another reason why stories affect us more deeply than non-narrative forms of information. When we listen to a story, our brains experience the action, as if it were happening to us. Brain scanning studies show that when we hear about characters, emoting, the emotion areas of our brain become active. When we hear about characters, moving vigorously, the motor regions of our brains are aroused. We even tend to remember what characters in the story our said to remember, and forget what the characters forget.
