Document Summary
Analogy is the reasoning about corresponding parts of things. For example, the front of a car looks like a human"s face. To be a true analogy there will be two analogs that correspond with something. Steps of analogy (some of these steps are optional) Finding something good in memory to make an analogy with. For example, you retrieve the city when you think about carleton. Finding correspondences between elements of the two analogues. For example, the movie cars maps the windshield to eyes. Using (and changing) knowledge of one analogue to learn or invent something. A city has lots of people of all different ages, but i know it will mostly be student about the other. If you had never been to carleton bu someone told you that it was like a big city, you would picture a lot of restaurants and lots of people transfer age adaptation. Determining if the transfer did what you wanted it to do.
