Relational inductive biases, deep learning, and graph networks (2018, background): “We draw analogies by aligning the relational structure between two domains and drawing inferences about one based on corresponding knowledge about the other (Gentner and Markman, 1997; Hummel and Holyoak, 2003).”
Productive figurative communication: Conventional metaphors facilitate the comprehension of related novel metaphors (2008, background): “But she too emphasizes distinctions in people’s ability to process novel versus conventional metaphors (Bowdle & Gentner, 2005; Gentner, Bowdle, Wolff, & Boronat, 2001; Gentner & Markman, 1997; Gentner & Wolff, 1997; Wolff & Gentner, 2000).”
Comparison Facilitates Children's Learning of Names for Parts (2007, methodology): “For example, in a test of Markman’s whole-object and mutual exclusivity constraints, Markman and Wachtel (1988) presented 3- and 4-year-old children with novel words in the presence of either familiar or novel objects.”
What Makes Mathematics Manipulatives Effective? Lessons From Cognitive Science and Montessori Education (2015, result): “Research on the development of symbolic and analogical reasoning provides support for this claim (Chen, 1996; DeLoache, Kolstad, & Anderson, 1991; Gentner & Markman, 1997; Goswami, 1996).”
Metaphor is like analogy (2001, background): “Metaphors linking the two domains would then reflect structural alignment between the two parallel domain representations (Gentner and Markman 1997; Medin, Goldstone, and Gentnter 1993).”
What Are We Playing at? Theatre, Organization, and the Use of Metaphor (2004, background): “It depends whether metaphors have (or have not) a heuristic value for organizational theorizing; their use therefore needs to be an informed, disciplined, and guided process instead of being based on an ‘anything goes’ maxim (cf. Weick 1989; Tsoukas 1993).”
Literal Bases for Metaphor and Simile (2001, background): “And comparisons of the kind involved in processing similarity claims in general are involved in the comprehension of metaphors and similes (Gentner, 1983, 1989; Gentner & Markman, 1997; Gentner & Wolff, 1997; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989, 1997; Medin et al., 1993; Wolff & Gentner, 2000).”
Learning to de-escalate: The effects of regret in escalation of commitment (2008, background): “Although knowledge transfer is difficult to achieve (Bransford et al., 1989; Gentner & Markman, 1997; Reeves & Weisberg, 1994), individuals who engage in deep thinking to understand the underlying structure of a situation (Gentner et al., 2003; Gentner & Namy, 2006; Loewenstein et al., 1999; Thomp”
Processing Product Unique Features: Alignability and Involvement in Preference Construction (2001, background): “The structural alignment model of similarity assumes that the comparison process determines the commonalities and alignable differences of a pair of objects (Gentner & Markman, 1997; Markman & Genter, 1993a, 1993b).”
Reviving Inert Knowledge: Analogical Abstraction Supports Relational Retrieval of Past Events (2009, background): “(For a more complete description, see Forbus et al., 1995; Gentner & Markman, 1997 .)”
