Most naturalistic narrative paradigms (i.e., films) use a third-person omniscient point of view—i.e., a bird's eye point of view on all characters in a narrative in which participants observe actions and interpersonal interactions or hear a narrator describe actions and interactions. Real-world perspective-taking during social interactions often involves understanding others’ minds more directly; in other words, people often come to understand another person's perspective by directly hearing their account about a particular topic or event (their first-person point of view). This spontaneous adaptation of others' perspectives seems to vary widely across individuals (Davis, 1983; Nettle & Liddle, 2008), and might be reflected in the neural representation of the temporal structure of first-person perspectives throughout a narrative. In the present study, we will use a novel naturalistic narrative listening paradigm featuring a narrative written for the present study by literary fiction writer Emily Mirengoff. This paradigm extends work from story paradigms that have used existing narratives such as films by narrating the story from two different first-person perspectives with the goal of engaging listeners in a second-person perspective (i.e., the two characters in the story are recounting their experiences to listeners as the story unfolds). |
