Abstract This paper proposes a framework for representing in Bayesian terms the idea that analogical arguments of various degrees strength may provide inductive support to yet untested scientific hypotheses. On this account, contextual information plays crucial role determining whether, and what extent, given similarity or dissimilarity between source target confirm an empirical hypothesis over...

purpose: the cognitive domains are assessed by cognitive tests and these assessments are different between man and woman in every test, this study assessed brain function by cognitive domains among men and women. methods : a cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 15 to 75 years old of 80 female and 80 male. all participants did neuro-cognitive computer battery (nccb) after training and c...

This study examines how analogy affects problem-solving in ideation phase of design among architects and engineers. For this purpose, a design problem was given to master and Ph.D. students of engineering and architecture. They were given two optional analogy sources to choose and be inspired by one. From the analysis of design sessions, using different coding groups and the application of the ...

Image analogies is a framework for processing images by example. Image analogies uses training data A and A′ in order to learn a filter that can be applied to an unfiltered target image B to produce an analogous image B′. This means that B′ relates to B the same way A′ relates to A. The framework is general and can be applied to many different applications. Typical applications for image analog...

Conceptual analogy (CA) is an approach, that integrates conceptualization based on prior experiences, i.e. case memory organization, and analogical reasoning (Borner and Janetzko 1995, Borner and Wode 1995). It was prototypically implemented and tested to support the design process in building engineering (B orner 1994a). This paper reviews the development of CA. It provides the basic assump...

The scalar mediation of the object through the space of representation ensures design methodologies based on similitude or procedural techniques must initially work upon appropriated forms. Given that translation ensures that these forms remain as a trace the architectural object is implicitly reliant on the application of analogy. While still bound to the act of drawing in, on or through the d...

Cognitive ability in solving analogy problems really needs the right information processing. The core cognitive process thinking occurs when students make a mapping between target problem and source problem. This research aims to describe analogical indirect based on processing theory. method usesd this is qualitative descriptive. subject study were third fifth-semester of Mathematics Tadris Pr...
