An Investigation of the Inference and Mapping Processes of the Componential Theory of Analogical Reasoning.
Sheard, Catherine; Readence, John E.
Journal of Educational Research, v81 n6 p347-53 Jul-Aug 1988
Solution of production or recognition format analogies requires identification of either the inference or mapping relation, but not both as postulated in Sternberg's theory. Additional findings concerning analogical reasoning processes, and a discussion of teaching implications, are included in this description of a study involving 41 eighth graders and 41 undergraduates.
