A symbolic-connectionist theory of relational inference and generalization
- Psychological Review
, 2003
"... The authors present a theory of how relational inference and generalization can be accomplished within a cognitive architecture that is psychologically and neurally realistic. Their proposal is a form of symbolic connectionism: a connectionist system based on distributed representations of concept m ..."

fundamental aspect of human intelligence is the ability to form and manipulate relational representations. Examples of relational thinking include the ability to appreciate analogies between seemingly different objects or events (Gentner, 1983; Holyoak & Thagard, 1995), the ability to apply abstract rules
Incremental structure-mapping

, 1994
"... Many cognitive tasks involving analogy, such as understanding metaphors, problem-solving, and learning, require the ability to extend mappings as new information is found. This paper describes a new version of SME, called I-SME, that operates incrementally. 1-SME is inspired by Keane's IAM mode ..."

. First, we show that I-SME can account for the psychological results found by Keane on a serial version of the Holyoak & Thagard attribute mapping task. Second, we describe how I-SME is used in the Minimal Analogical Reasoning System (MARS), which uses analogy to solve engineering thermodynamics
unknown title
"... Much research on higher level cognition, such as that involved in reasoning and problem solving, has focused on the use of highly structured knowledge and how this knowledge is generated, retrieved, and used. This research has produced rich theories of reasoning, problem solv-ing, and analogy (e.g., ..."

RELATIONAL PERCEPTION AND COGNITION: IMPLICATIONS FOR COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURE AND THE PERCEPTUAL-COGNITIVE INTERFACE

Examples of relational thinking include our ability to appreciate analogies between different objects or events (Gentner, 1983; Holyoak & Thagard, 1995), our ability to apply abstract rules in nove ..."

A Neural Net Model for Mapping Hierarchically Structured Analogs
- Society, University of Newcastle
, 1997
"... Introduction Human analogical reasoning can be successfully modeled with parallel processing architectures (Halford, Wilson, Guo, Gayler, Wiles & Stewart, 1994; Hummel &Holyoak, in press; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989) but some analogies entail complex, hierarchically structured knowledge rep ..."

Unweaving the Analogical Rainbow
, 2004
"... Introduction Analogical reasoning is a decidedly knowledge-hungry faculty, whether one is interpreting or generating new analogies. Analogy is, after all, one of the foremost cognitive tools we possess for shedding light on a poorly understood domain by importing the structure of one more clearly u ..."

, and other models that operate on similar principles (such as ACME by Paul Thagard and Keith Holyoak, IAM by Mark Keane, LISA by Keith Holyoak and John Hummel, or Sapper by Tony Veale; see Veale, 1996 for a review), presupposes that analogy operates by systematically projecting the causal propositional

Grounding via Scanning: Cooking up Roles from Scratch
- In Proceedings of the 1992 Midwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science Society Conference
, 1992
"... Introduction At the heart of nearly every model in cognitive science and artificial intelligence is the notion of roles and their fillers. Roles appear as explicit slots in frame systems (Minsky, 1975), as particular positions in predicate calculus representations, as role-specific groups in some c ..."

Multiplicative Binding, Representation Operators and Analogy

This paper introduces a novel implementation of the bind() operator that is simple, can be efficiently implemented, and highlights the relationship between retrieval queries and analogical mapping. A frame of role/filler bindings can easily be represented using bind() and bundle(). However, typical ..."

Representational change and analogy: How analogical inferences alter representations
- Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory & Cognition
, 2002
"... The ways that analogy alters the representation of target information was investigated in 4 experiments. Participants read information about a target, followed by a potential source analog. Participants later completed a recognition test in which some of the sentences were old, some novel, and some ..."
