Books like Tell me a story by Roger C. Schank


In "Tell Me a Story," Roger C. Schank examines the close ties among memory, narrative, and intelligence. Drawing on learning theory and computer science, he argues that true artificial intelligence should model human cognition, which largely operates by reapplying old narratives—our personal stories—to novel contexts. Schank analyses how we use stories for understanding, communication, and memory formation, suggesting that storytelling both shapes and reflects intelligence. The book blends psychological insights with perspectives from narratology and AI, offering a foundational perspective on the role of narrative in cognition and machine design.
