Narrative Thought?

Richard J. Gerrig

Yale University

This discussion uses the evidence adduced in the current issue's symposium on autobiographical narrative to examine the feasibility of the standard division of narrative from paradigmatic thought. It is suggested, first, that there is no evidence to support the assertion that representations of narrative information do not give rise spontaneously to generalizations and, second, that narratives often serve a formal, logical role in the management of life goals.
