Narrative is a representational format used to organize, store, and retrieve episodic information—information about past personal experiences. As such, it is distinct from associated phenomena such as storytelling and fiction. Narrative includes any representation of a series of interrelated events, such as episodic memories, dreams, fantasies, plans, gossip and, of course, stories. The function of narrative can be inferred from its structural components, upon which there is widespread cross-disciplinary consensus: cognitive psychologists and literary scholars alike agree that narrative requires a protagonist, setting, causally and temporally linked actions and events, and conflict and resolution. Collectively, these components illuminate the type of information that narrative organizes and stores.
