Abstract
© Oxford University Press, 2013. Narratives play no small part when people attempt
to recollect certain events, experiences, and memories regarding their past, since
such would enable them to give their own accounts regarding any aspect or point of
time in their life, be it a specific event or their entire life story. This chapter
attempts to look into how narratives are able to facilitate such recollections, through
providing an outline of the processes involved in recollection and by looking into
how these cognitive processes undergo certain disturbances that are brought about
by neural damage and its effects. To further understand the mechanisms that underlie
such processes, this chapter explores certain essential behavioral data such as explicit
memory, imagery, language, narrative reasoning, and neuropsychological data such as
the various losses encountered in explicitmemory and in other systems.
