Moving Forward: Developing Theoretical Contributions in Management Studies (2014, background): “…metaphors, thus principally function as a way of seeing relationships between conceptual frames and of conceptualizing and understanding a particular subject in terms traditionally associated with another subject or domain of knowledge (Gentner et al., 2001; Lakoff and Johnson, 1980, 1999).”
Concept learning in animals. (2008, background): “(2001) study not only confirmed Gillan et al.’s (1981) earlier evidence that Sarah can solve analogy problems, but they provided new evidence that she could do so spontaneously; in no case, did Sarah ever attempt to use a less efficient associative strategy as can occur with children (Alexander et a”
A Naturalistic Exploration of Forms and Functions of Analogizing (2009, background): “The pioneering researchers have seen value in regarding analogy as being an element in a more general theory of inference constraint (e.g., Forbus, 2001; Hofstadter, 2001; Thagard, 2000).”
Crossing an Apparent Chasm: Bridging Mindful and Less-Mindful Perspectives on Organizational Learning (2006, background): “One important form of such mapping, as noted earlier, is analogical reasoning (Gentner et al. 2001).”
Learning Through Case Comparisons: A Meta-Analytic Review (2013, background): “This ability is hypothesized to be a defining and distinguishing characteristic of human cognition (e.g., Gentner, 2010; Goldstone, Day, & Son, 2010; Hofstadter, 2001; Holyoak, 2012; Rittle-Johnson & Star, 2011).”
On the Origin of Strategy: Action and Cognition over Time (2007, background): “These are intermediate situations in which the decision problem is still somewhat amorphous but contains informational cues that allow decision makers to spot similarities with past situations (Gentner et al. 2001).”
