Description

Similarity and analogy are fundamental in human cognition.

They are crucial for recognition and classification, and have been associated with scientific discovery and creativity.

Successful learning is generally less dependent on the memorization of isolated facts and abstract rules than it is on the ability to identify relevant bodies of knowledge already stored as the starting point for new learning.

Similarity and analogy play an important role in this process - a role that in recent years has received much attention from cognitive scientists.

Any adequate understanding of similarity and analogy requires the integration of theory and data from diverse domains.

This interdisciplinary volume explores current developments in research and theory from psychological, computational, and educational perspectives, and considers their implications for learning and instruction.

Well-known cognitive scientists examine the psychological processes involved in reasoning by similarity and analogy, the computational problems encountered in simulating analogical processing in problem solving, and the conditions promoting the application of analogical reasoning in everyday situations.
