Cognitive narratology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines the concepts and methods of (classical) narratology with those of cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, cognitive linguistics and other disciplines, aiming to construct a cognitive foundation for narrative processing. It re-examines the main issues of narratology from the perspective of studying readers' cognitive processes and interpretive psychological processes under the influence of textual clues, and attempts to solve the unresolved problems of classic narratology, injecting new vitality and vitality into narrative research that has fallen into silence. At present it has become the most vibrant branch of postclassical narratology. This article takes the psychological narratology of Botrussi and Dixon, the main representatives of the Western cognitive narratology empirical research school, as an example to study cognitive narratology, which is relatively cutting-edge and hot in the West, but is almost a deserted place in our country.
