Analogical reasoning in working memory: resources shared among relational integration, interference resolution, and maintenance.
We report a series of experiments using a pictorial analogy task designed to manipulate relational integration, interference resolution, and active maintenance simultaneously. The difficulty of the problems was varied in terms of the number of relations to be integrated, the need for interference resolution, and the duration of maintenance required to correctly solve the analogy. The participan...
متن کاملRelational integration, inhibition, and analogical reasoning in older adults.
The difficulty of reasoning tasks depends on their relational complexity, which increases with the number of relations that must be considered simultaneously to make an inference, and on the number of irrelevant items that must be inhibited. The authors examined the ability of younger and older adults to integrate multiple relations and inhibit irrelevant stimuli. Young adults performed well at...
متن کاملA computational account of children's analogical reasoning: balancing inhibitory control in working memory and relational representation.
Theories accounting for the development of analogical reasoning tend to emphasize either the centrality of relational knowledge accretion or changes in information processing capability. Simulations in LISA (Hummel & Holyoak, 1997, 2003), a neurally inspired computer model of analogical reasoning, allow us to explore how these factors may collaboratively contribute to the development of analogy...
متن کاملExecutive Control in Analogical Reasoning: Beyond Interference Resolution
In recent studies, analogy-making has been shown to depend on the ability to resist interference. In our large-sample correlational study we found that efficiency of analogical reasoning is strongly related to measures of diverse executive control functions, far beyond interference resolution. These functions included interference resolution itself, but also: goal activation and application, in...
متن کاملWorking memory and relational reasoning in Klinefelter syndrome.
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a sex chromosome abnormality associated with male infertility and mild cognitive deficits. Individuals with KS have been reported to have impaired verbal ability, as well as deficits in executive function. To further understand the nature of their deficits, we assessed specific elements of frontal lobe function such as working memory and relational reasoning. Men wi...
