Analogical Problem Solving: Insights from Verbal Reports
Problem solving is a complex cognitive activity that involves the construction of sequences of actions to reach a given goal. One powerful strategy is to identify analogies between the problem at hand and previously encountered ones. Relevant similarities between problems can be detected more easily if there is a high resemblance on the surface or with respect to structure. Earlier theoretical ...
متن کاملAnalogical Problem Solving
Where do new ideas come from? What psychological mechanisms underlie creative insight? This fundamental issue in the study of thought has received a great deal of informal discussion, but little empirical psychological investigation. The anecdotal reports of creative scientists and mathematicians suggest that the development of a new theory frequently depends on noticing and applying an analogy...

متن کاملA Fuzzy Model for Analogical Problem Solving
In this paper we develop a fuzzy model for the description of the process of Analogical Reasoning by representing its main steps as fuzzy subsets of a set of linguistic labels characterizing the individuals’ performance in each step and we use the ShannonWiener diversity index as a measure of the individuals’ abilities in analogical problem solving. This model is compared with a stochastic mode...
متن کاملSleep promotes analogical transfer in problem solving.
Analogical problem solving requires using a known solution from one problem to apply to a related problem. Sleep is known to have profound effects on memory and information restructuring, and so we tested whether sleep promoted such analogical transfer, determining whether improvement was due to subjective memory for problems, subjective recognition of similarity across related problems, or by ...
