    "title": "Analogical Transfer Through Comprehension and Priming",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "An unexplored means by which analogical transfer might take place is through indirect priming through the interaction of text comprehension and memory retrieval processes. Remind is a structured spreading-activation model of language understanding and reminding in which simple transfer can result from indirect priming from previously processed source analogs. This paper describes two experiments based on Remind's priming-based transfer framework. In Experiment 1, subjects (1) summarized analogous source stories' common plot; (2) rated the comprehensibility of targets related to sources by similar themes, contexts, or themes and contexts; then (3) described any sources incidentally recalled during target rating. Source/target similarity influenced comprehensibility and reminding without any explicit mapping or problem-solving. In Experiment 2, subjects (1) rated each story's comprehensibility in source/target pairs having similar relationships to each other as in Experiment 1; then (2) rated source/target similarity. Analogous targets were rated as more comprehensible than non-analogous targets. Both experiments imply that transfer can be caused by activation of abstract knowledge representations without explicit mapping.",
