{"pk":27138,"title":"Leaping across the mental canyon: Analogical retrieval across disparate taskdomains","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The present study provides evidence for far analogicalretrieval, i.e., analogical retrieval across disparate taskdomains, as a result of analogical comparison. Participantsread source stories, which were then retrieved after a filleddelay through abstract letter-string cues that matched therelational form of key parts of stories. They then generatedresponses to an ambiguous letter-string analogy problem.Evidence was found for far analogical retrieval of higher-order relations because 1. comparison of letter-stringanalogies cued source stories specific to the relations showedin the letter-strings, and then 2. those same relations formedthe basis for how subjects solved novel letter-string problems.The experiment offers support for the schema inductionaccount of analogical retrieval, and suggests that people aremore sensitive to relational structures than was previouslythought.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"analogy; memory; reasoning; analogical retrieval;letter-string analogies"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0zj989fb","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Shir","middle_name":"","last_name":"Dekel","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""},{"first_name":"Bruce","middle_name":"D.","last_name":"Burns","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""},{"first_name":"Micah","middle_name":"B.","last_name":"Goldwater","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27138/galley/16774/download/"}]}
