Training in Analogical Reasoning.
Alexander, Patricia A.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v24 n3 p387-404 Fall 1987
Experiments involving a componential approach to analogy training were conducted with 36 fourth, 34 eighth, and 96 tenth graders. Results indicate a significant positive effect on all students' verbal analogy skills and no significant effect on fourth graders' inferential skills. In-class training and reading/language arts instruction implications are discussed. (TJH)
