Analogy Causes Distorted Memory by Blending Memory Episodes

The present study compares two cases of blending between episodes: blending of episodes that share a number of elements (superficially similar episodes) and blending of episodes that share the same structure of relations but do not share the same elements. According to classic theories and models of blending, superficially similar episodes are more likely to be blended because there is a larger...

Incorrect responses salience affects strategy use in a figural analogy task

Previous studies of multiple-choice analogy problems suggested that some people use a more efficient but also harder constructive strategy (they build the complete representation of analogy), whereas others tend to use a less effective but simpler response elimination. We tested whether salience of incorrect options (five per figural analogy problem) affected strategy use. Salient options in 18...
