Analogy is an inductive mechanism based on structured comparisons of mental
representations. It is an important special case of role-based relational reasoning, in which …

Human mental representations are both flexible and structured—properties that, together,
present challenging design requirements for a model of human thinking. The Learning and …

Integration of abstractly similar relations during analogical reasoning was investigated using
functional magnetic resonance imaging. Activation elicited by an analogical reasoning task …

There has been a growing interest in understanding the complex cognitive processes that
give rise to human reasoning. This review focuses on the cognitive and neural …

Much of humankind's remarkable mental aptitude can be attributed to analogical ability-the
ability to perceive and use relational similarity. In this chapter, we present an overview of …

Analogy-making is the process of finding or constructing a common relational structure in the
descriptions of two situations or domains and making inferences by transferring knowledge …

We report a series of experiments using a pictorial analogy task designed to manipulate
relational integration, interference resolution, and active maintenance simultaneously. The …

Analogical reasoning has a long history in artificial intelligence research, primarily because
of its promise for the acquisition and effective use of knowledge. Defined as a …

Abstract Reasoning by analogy allows us to link distinct domains of knowledge and to
transfer solutions from one domain to another. Analogical reasoning has been studied using …

Analogy is a kind of similarity in which the same system of relations holds across different
objects. Analogies thus capture parallels across different situations. When such a common …
