{"pk":29615,"title":"Spontaneous and Voluntary Analogical Retrieval During Problem-Solving andHypothesis Generation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Theoretical models of analogical retrieval implicitly assumethat the cognitive system continuously scans long-term memorybased on the contents of working memory (WM). Experiment 1revealed that when a target analog is presented in the context ofa problem-solving activity, a prompt to search for analogoussituations adds nothing over-and-above the probabilities ofbeing spontaneously reminded of an analogous problem.More exploratory in nature, Experiment 2 presents the firstexperimental evidence of analogical retrieval during hypothesisgeneration. Our prompt to search for analogous phenomenaincreased access to distant analogs, suggesting that hypothesis-generation does not reliably elicit a search for analogousphenomena. Results suggest that a search for analogous casesis not automatically triggered by the contents of WM, and thatthe nature of the tasks in which the analogs are embeddeddetermines whether a search for analogs will be initiated.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"analogy; retrieval; problem-solving; hypothesisgeneration"}],"section":"Poster Session 1","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8b56f88x","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Máximo","middle_name":"","last_name":"Trench","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Comahue","department":""},{"first_name":"Leandro","middle_name":"Emmanuel","last_name":"Rivas","name_suffix":"","institution":"Instituto Patagónico de Estudios de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales","department":""},{"first_name":"Melisa","middle_name":"","last_name":"Díaz","name_suffix":"","institution":"Instituto Patagónico de Estudios de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales","department":""},{"first_name":"Ricardo","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Minervino","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Comahue","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29615/galley/19474/download/"}]}
