Tell Me A Story by Roger C. Schank

Narrative and Intelligence

Arguing that human intelligence is fundamentally story-driven, this book explains how we store experiences as narratives, index them for later retrieval, and use them to interpret new situations. It contrasts case-based, narrative reasoning with rule-based models, showing how stories guide learning, decision-making, and persuasion. Drawing on everyday and organizational examples, it proposes ways to capture and share narrative knowledge in computational systems and offers practical insights for education, problem solving, and communication.
