Schema induction and analogical transfer
Mary L. Gick,Keith J. Holyoak +1 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that if two prior analogs were given, subjects often derived a problem schema as an incidental product of describing the similarities of the analogs, and the quality of the induced schema was highly predictive of subsequent transfer performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analogical problem solving
Mary L. Gick,Keith J. Holyoak +1 more
TL;DR: The use of an analogy from a semantically distant domain to guide the problemsolving process was investigated in five experiments as discussed by the authors, where subjects who first read a story about a military problem and its solution tended to generate analogous solutions to a medical problem, provided they were given a hint to use the story to help solve the problem.
