Connecting long distance: semantic distance in analogical reasoning modulates frontopolar cortex activity.
Solving problems often requires seeing new connections between concepts or events that seemed unrelated at first. Innovative solutions of this kind depend on analogical reasoning, a relational reasoning process that involves mapping similarities between concepts. Brain-based evidence has implicated the frontal pole of the brain as important for analogical mapping. Separately, cognitive research...
متن کاملSemantic Distance Modulates the N400 Event-Related Potential in Verbal Analogical Reasoning
Computational accounts have traditionally focused on mapping between structured representations as fundamental to analogical processing. However, a recent connectionist model has been used to argue that structured representations may not be necessary to solve verbal analogies. Green and colleagues (2010) have shown that brain areas associated with analogical mapping become more engaged as seman...
متن کاملDistance discrimination in frontopolar rats.
Lmnand 1(5) has shown that in the rat the portion of the cortex occupying the frontal pole, which was considered for a long time as a homologue of the frontal association cortex d higher mammals, does not receive projection from the mledidorsal thalamic nucleus. Thus, this region does not fulfil the accepted criterion for the pr8efrontal cortex. It seems now that the frontopolm cortex d rat res...
متن کاملThe impact of semantic distance and induced stress on analogical reasoning: a neurocomputational account.
In a study of reasoning with four-term verbal analogy problems, we explored the relationship between the effects of an acute, mild stressor and the complexity of the reasoning process. Participants judged whether analogy problems in the form A:B :: C:D were valid or invalid, on the basis of whether the relation in the A:B term matched that in the C:D term. Half of the problems contained a C:D p...
متن کاملNeural correlates of creativity in analogical reasoning.
Brain-based evidence has implicated the frontal pole of the brain as important for analogical mapping. Separately, cognitive research has identified semantic distance as a key determinant of the creativity of analogical mapping (i.e., more distant analogies are generally more creative). Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess brain activity during an analogy generation tas...
