 To conclude the discussion of fiction, we note another direct appeal to work at the empirical level. Derek Matravers (2014) argues that it has been a mistake of recent theorising about fiction to appeal to the imagination. Matravers claims that work on mental models does a good job of explaining our processing and comprehension of, and responses to, both fictional and nonfictional narratives without any need to distinguish fictional cases by their connection with the imagination.
