We support the idea of applying cultural evolution theory to the study of storytelling, and fiction in particular. However, we suggest that a more plausible link between real and imaginary worlds is the feeling of presence we can experience in both of them: we feel present when we are able to correctly and intuitively enact our embodied predictions.

Abstract

We support the idea of applying cultural evolution theory to the study of storytelling, and fiction in particular. However, we suggest that a more plausible link between real and imaginary worlds is the feeling of presence we can experience in both of them: we feel present when we are able to correctly and intuitively enact our embodied predictions.
