/4 Expert ratings were also more independent of fine-grained linguistic & structural features of stories (e.g., word surprisal, semantic similarity between sentences). Our findings suggest that experts may use different, potentially more gist-like, mechanisms when judging stories.

/3 When rating stories across 5 dimensions (creativity, imagination, novelty, complexity, cohesiveness), experts and novices shared a 2-dimensional latent story space represented by creativity & cohesiveness, but experts viewed relationships between story dimensions as more nuanced and independent.
