COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY FALL COLLOQUIUM SERIES (Rutgers University) Date: 9 November 1988 Time: 4:30 PM Place: Room 307, Psychology Building, Busch Campus Paul Thagard, Cognitive Science Program, Princeton University ANALOGICAL THINKING Analogy is currently a very active area of research in both cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence. Keith Holyoak and I have developed connectionist models of analogical retrieval and mapping that are consistent with the results of psychological experiments. The new models use localist networks to simultaneously satisfy a set of semantic, structural, and pragmatic constraints. After providing a general view of analogical thinking, this talk will describe our model of analog retrieval. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lorien Y.
