{"pk":28293,"title":"Relational Roles and Stem Format in Verbal Analogy","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Analogical reasoning entails both one-to-one alignment and relational transfer. Yet the relative reliance on one processover the other may depend in part on the extent to which role-based relational reasoning is available. We systematicallymanipulated two theoretically important item characteristics that impact the extent of role-based relational reasoning insolving semantically distant verbal analogies: (1) the analogical relation (composition vs. category coordinate), and (2)the format of the analogy stem (i.e., two vs. three terms). For the categorical analogies (WATERMELON : PINEAPPLE:: VELVET : SILK), stem format had no effect. Whereas for the composition analogies (WATERMELON : SALAD ::VELVET : DRESS), participants were faster to solve the 3-term than the 2-term analogies, thereby indicating a facilitativeeffect of role-based alignment (e.g., both watermelon and velvet as materials of their respective objects). Thus, resultssupport analogical models positing the detection and use of relational roles (Holyoak, 2012).","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Abstracts-Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1b0019fr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Lara","middle_name":"","last_name":"Jones","name_suffix":"","institution":"Wayne State University","department":""},{"first_name":"Gregory","middle_name":"","last_name":"Norville","name_suffix":"","institution":"Wayne State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28293/galley/17952/download/"}]}
