{"pk":29650,"title":"WG-A: A Framework for Exploring Analogical Generalization andArgumentation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Reasoning about analogical arguments is known to be subjectto a variety of cognitive biases, and a lack of clarity aboutwhich factors can be considered strengths or weaknesses ofan analogical argument. This can make it difficult both to de-sign empirical experiments to study how people reason aboutanalogical arguments, and to develop scalable tutoring toolsfor teaching how to reason and analyze analogical arguments.To address these concerns, we describe WG-A (Warrant Game— Analogy), a framework for people to analyze analogical ar-guments based on Bartha’s (2010) Articulation Model of ana-logical argumentation. We carry out two experiments designedto probe WG-A’s effectiveness in improving participants’ abil-ity to reason about analogical arguments and argumentation ingeneral, and argue that WG-A is a promising approach, thoughit is in need of further development.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"analogy; reasoning; generalization; arguments; ar-gumentation; argument analysis; critical thinking"}],"section":"Poster Session 1","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/74f3316j","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cooper","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Philosophy","department":""},{"first_name":"Lindsay","middle_name":"","last_name":"Fields","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of South Florida","department":""},{"first_name":"Marc","middle_name":"Gabriel","last_name":"Badilla","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of South Florida","department":""},{"first_name":"John","middle_name":"","last_name":"Licato","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of South Florida","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/29650/galley/19508/download/"}]}
