The Role of Textual Coherence in Incremental Analogical Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
The LISA model of analogical reasoning (Hummel & Holyoak, 1997) assumes that mapping is performed incrementally within limited-capacity working memory, and that processing is guided by principles of text coherence. Predictions of the model derived by computer simulations were tested in four experiments, using both semantically-impoverished structural analogs and semantically-rich story analogs. Results for college students revealed a grouping effect. Processing multiple propositions together generated more accurate mappings than did processing individual propositions, but only when propositions that jointly provided strong structural constraints were grouped together. Other experiments revealed asymmetries in mapping and inference accuracy: mappings and inferences generated from a more coherent analog to a less coherent analog were more accurate than those made in the reverse direction. Implications for computational models of analogical reasoning and for education are discussed.

Constraints on Analogical Mapping: A Comparison of Three Models By
Three theories of analogy have been proposed which are supported by computational models and data from experiments on human analogical abilities. In this paper, we show how these theories can be unified within a common metatheoretical framework which distinguishes between levels of informational, behavioural and hardware constraints. This framework makes clear the distinctions between three com...
متن کاملIntegrating analogical mapping and general problem solving: the path-mapping theory
This article describes the path-mapping theory of how humans integrate analogical mapping and general problem solving. The theory posits that humans represent analogs with declarative roles, map analogs by lower-level retrieval of analogous role paths, and coordinate mappings with higher-level organizational knowledge. Implemented in the ACT-R cognitive architecture, the path-mapping theory all...

In this study, the capabilities of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series data and machine learning have been evaluated for land cover mapping in Iran. In this way, a time series of Sentinel-1 SAR data (including 16 SLC images with approximately 24 days time interval) from 2018 to 2020 were used for a region of Ahvaz County located in Khuzestan province. Using InSAR proces...

متن کاملModeling Perceptual Similarity as Analogy Resolves the Paradox of Difference Detection
There is a paradoxical dissociation between recognizing that two stimuli are different and recognizing how they are different. We show that this dissociation can be captured by modeling perceptual similarity as a species of analogical processes. Using SME to model comparison, we show that the dissociation arises naturally from different stages in the analogical mapping process. Rather than rely...
