Understanding how analogy is used in problem solving is an important problem in cognitive science. This paper describes a model of using worked solutions to solve new problems, in terms of structure-mapping processes in the Companions cognitive architecture. The Educational Testing Service independently evaluated the flexibility of the system by using AP Physics problems that were systematicall...

One of the fundamental human cognitive processes is problem solving. As a higher-layer cognitive process, problem solving interacts with many other cognitive processes such as abstraction, searching, learning, decision making, inference, analysis, and synthesis on the basis of internal knowledge representation by the object–attribute-relation (OAR) model. Problem solving is a cognitive process ...
