Learning means making connections. Therefore, analogy can be an approach of choice to enhance students' understanding of a concept. Be careful, however, not to rely solely on analogy. It sometimes ...

Paradigmatic teaching, i.e. teaching for analogical transfer, requires the teaching of a basic structure by appropriate exemplars as well as the teaching of its application in various fields and ...

To encourage research on analogy, Forbus's team is releasing the SME source code and a 5,000-example corpus, which includes comparisons drawn from visual problem solving, textbook problem solving ...

Analogical reasoning, the process of identifying correspondences between seemingly disparate domains, is fundamental to human cognition. It facilitates problem solving and learning by allowing ...

This investigation examined the effects of training on four-year-olds' ability to solve geometric analogy problems. Twenty children participated in three consecutive training sessions that were based ...

The SME is capable of analogical problem solving, including ways humans spontaneously use analogies to solve moral dilemmas.

A recent study published in the Journal of Sleep Research provides evidence that sleep, particularly rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, enhances problem-solving ability through analogical transfer ...

As further demonstration of the flexibility of SME, it also has been used to model multiple visual problem-solving tasks. To encourage research on analogy, Forbus’s team is releasing the SME source ...
