Document Summary
True analogy: has to be two things with similar parts or functions. Like the front-end of a car to a person"s face. Steps of analogy: retrieval mapping transfer/adaptation evaluation storage. Retrieval: finding something good in memory to make an analogy with. Mapping: finding correspondences between elements of the two analogues. Transfer/adaptation: using (and changing) knowledge of one analogue to learn or invent something about the other. An example of adaptation could be maxwell adapting faraday"s iron filings observations to help create his theory of vortices. Evaluation: determining if the transfer did what you wanted it to do. Storage: indexing the memory so that it can be used successfully in the future. It seems that we index words by their first letter. Structure mapping: created by genter and forbus, this computer program aims to map the best analogy. It doesn"t look for the same symbols but rather, the same structures.
