Reasoning by Analogy: Is It Schema-Mediated or Case-Based?
Didierjean, Andre; Cauzinille-Marmeche, Evelyne
European Journal of Psychology of Education, v13 n3 p385-98 Sep 1998
Presents two linked experiments on reasoning by analogy. Shows in the first experiment that there are two processes underlying reasoning by analogy: (1) using abstract knowledge; and (2) case-based reasoning. Demonstrates in the second how some individuals use both processes and how they can lead to long-term acquisition of principles underlying example problems. (DSK)
