Cross-cultural Differences in Analogical Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much research in developmental psychology and cognitive development presumes a universal developmental trend that is independent of culture. One such trend, from object to relational knowledge, is seen over and over. However, most of this research is based on the study of children and individuals from Western cultures. This paper considers the possibility that this developmental trend might differ in

Young children's analogical reasoning across cultures: similarities and differences.
A cross-cultural comparison between U.S. and Hong Kong preschoolers examined factors responsible for young children's analogical reasoning errors. On a scene analogy task, both groups had adequate prerequisite knowledge of the key relations, were the same age, and showed similar baseline performance, yet Chinese children outperformed U.S. children on more relationally complex problems. Children...

متن کاملPAPER A computational account of children’s analogical reasoning: balancing inhibitory control in working memory and relational representation
Theories accounting for the development of analogical reasoning tend to emphasize either the centrality of relational knowledge accretion or changes in information processing capability. Simulations in LISA (Hummel & Holyoak, 1997, 2003), a neurally inspired computer model of analogical reasoning, allow us to explore how these factors may collaboratively contribute to the development of analogy...

متن کاملGrounded Models for Understanding Conflicts from Multiple Points of View Course VI Advanced Project
Understanding the effect of culture on how people think is important to begin to understand human cognition. Cultural misunderstandings can be attributed to differences in cultural experiences, instead of differences in cognitive mechanisms. If we are to understand how people think, we need to create models that show us how cultural experiences forge different points of view. In this project, I...
