Analogical Reasoning: What Develops? A Review of Research and Theory.
Goswami, Usha
Child Development, v62 n1 p1-22 Feb 1991
Children's analogical reasoning has traditionally been measured by classical four-term analogy tasks or problem-solving tasks. Current theories of analogical development and the evidence on which they are based are reviewed. It is concluded that structural views of analogical development are wrong, and knowledge-based accounts of what develops are more appealing. But additional research is needed. (BC)
