{"pk":21703,"title":"A Neural Process Model of Structure Mapping Accounts for Children's Development of Analogical Mapping by Change in Inhibitory Control","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We present a neural process model of visual analogical mapping that receives image inputs and responds by spatially selecting a matching object to a cued object. The relational structure of the base scene is stored in a way that specifies the arguments of each relation, allowing mappings based on structural correspondence to be represented as proposed by the structure-mapping theory. All the processes in the model emerge out of coupled integro-differential equations modeling neural population activation dynamics. The mapping can be influenced by both featural and relational similarities. The developmental shift in mappings in the presence of a featural distractor can be accounted for by manipulating how well the model can maintain attention to relevant feature/relation dimensions, consistent with a hypothesis suggesting inhibitory as a key factor explaining the shift.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Psychology; Analogy; Cognitive architectures; Development; Dynamic Systems Modeling"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/18m0h7n0","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Minseok","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kang","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ruhr-Universität Bochum","department":""},{"first_name":"Daniel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sabinasz","name_suffix":"","institution":"Institut für Neuroinformatik","department":""},{"first_name":"Gregor","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schöner","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ruhr-Universität Bochum","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T19:00:00+01:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21703/galley/11302/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21703/galley/22096/download/"}]}
