Analogical Minds
Duration
60 minutes
Analogical reasoning is a complex ‘high-level’ cognitive process characterised by making inferences based on analogical comparisons. As with other high-level processes, development takes place over a protracted time period and believed to result from changes in multiple ‘lower-level’ systems. In the case of analogical reasoning, changes in systems responsible for conceptual knowledge, task knowledge, inhibition, and working memory have all been causally implicated in development. Whilst there is evidence that each of these systems contributes to development, what the relative contribution of each across development is, and how they interact with each, remain largely unanswered questions. In this presentation, I will describe how cross-sectional trajectory analysis can be used as a complementary method to shed light on these questions.
