Three Voices: Researching how somatic education informs contemporary dance technique classes (2002, background): “While transfer of learning has been widely studied in academic subject matter settings (Brake, 1998a, b; Gentner, Ratterman & Forbus, 1993; Holyoak, 1985; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989; Sternberg & Frensch, 1993), it has received little attention from educational dance researchers.”
Transfer of Mathematical Knowledge: The Portability of Generic Instantiations (2009, background): “In addition, transfer may require alignment of the common structure between the learned and novel domains (Gentner, 1983, 1989; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989, 1997), and there is evidence suggesting that extraneous information may hinder structural recognition and alignment.”
Structure mapping in analogy and similarity. (1997, methodology): “Parallel connectivity requires that matching relations must have matching arguments, and one-to-one correspondence limits any element in one representation to at most one matching element in the other representation (Falkenhainer, Forbus, & Gentner, 1986, 1989; Gentner, 1983, 1989; Gentner & Clement”
Multiplicative Binding, Representation Operators & Analogy (1998, background): “Analogical inference depends on systematic substitution of the components of compositional structures (Gentner, 1983; Halford et al., 1994; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989).”
Learning Negotiation Skills: Four Models of Knowledge Creation and Transfer (2003, background): “…Gentner’s (1983) structure-mapping theory, analogical reasoning involves setting up correspondences between structured representational elements of two domains and transferring information guided by the common relational structure (Gentner 1983, 1989, Holyoak 1985, Holyoak and Thagard 1989, 1997).”

A Naturalistic Exploration of Forms and Functions of Analogizing (2009, methodology): “Cameron Shelley (2002a , b ) performed a formal analysis (using the representational schemes of Holyoak & Thagard [1989a , b ] and Gentner [1983] ) of a number of philosophical dialogs, including one from the writings of David Hume (eg, God as builder of the world :: Man as builder of a house) and”
Nonintentional analogical inference in text comprehension (2007, background): “…has been a fertile and productive area research over the last two decades, and there is substantial consensus on the fundamental processes involved (Gentner, 2003; Gentner, Holyoak, & Kokinov, 2001; Gentner & Markman, 1997; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989; Hummel & Holyoak, 1997; Kokinov & French, 2002).”
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).”
A symbolic-connectionist theory of relational inference and generalization. (2003, methodology): “This kind of competitive weight updating serves to enforce the 1:1 mapping constraint (i.e., the constraint that each unit in the source analog maps to no more than one unit in the recipient; Falkenhainer, Forbus & Gentner, 1989; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989).”
