We use them to communicate, convince, exp lain, and entertain. As far as we know, every soci ety in the world has narratives, which suggests th ey are rooted in our psychology and serve an impor tant cognitive function. It is becoming increasing ly clear that, to truly understand and explain hum an intelligence, beliefs, and behaviors, we will h ave to understand why narrative is universal and e xplain (or explain away) the function it serves. This meeting will be an appropriate venue for pap ers addressing fundamental topics and questions re garding narrative. Moreover, the meeting will have a special focus on the identification, collection , and construction of shared resources and corpora that facilitate the computational modeling of nar rative. Papers should focus on issues fundamental to computational modeling and scientific understan ding, or issues related to building shared resourc es to advance the field.
