Continual Lifelong Learning with Neural Networks: A Review (2018, background): “ired knowledge in one context to solve a problem in a novel domain (Barnett and Ceci, 2002; Pan and Yang, 2010). While humans and animals excel at transferring generalized knowledge to novel domains (Holyoak and Thagard, 1997), transfer learning has remained an open challenge in machine learning and”
The impact of anxiety on analogical reasoning (2000, background): “Analogical reasoning has an extraordinary range of uses, which include generation and comprehension of metaphors, scientific discovery, and decision making in politics, business, the law, and everyday social situations (for reviews see Gentner & Markman, 1997; Holyoak & Thagard, 1995, 1997).”
Cognitive strategies of analogical reasoning in design: Differences between expert and novice designers (2013, background): “Holyoak and Thagard (Holyoak, 1985; Holyoak & Thagard, 1989, 1997) proposed that goals are one of the primary factors determining both retrieval and mapping in analogy.”
Development of outstanding leadership: A life narrative approach (2008, methodology): “Instead, they simplify the problem by applying a mental model, or cognitive representational system, in their sensemaking efforts (Holyoak & Thagard, 1997; Johnson-Laird, 1983).”
Spatial Thinking by Young Children: Neurologic Evidence for Early Development and “Educability” (2007, unknown): “Many other researchers have concluded that “children as young as 3 years of age have the underlying competence” to transfer inferences and form analogies (Brown et al. 1986, 103; see also Holyoak and Thagard 1997; Loewenstein and Gentner 2001).”
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).”
Transfer of Mathematical Knowledge: The Portability of Generic Instantiations (2009, background): “First, transfer is influenced by superficial similarities across domains, with transfer to similar instances being more likely than transfer to dissimilar instances (Holyoak & Koh, 1987; Holyoak & Thagard, 1997; Ross, 1987, 1989).”
Dynamic Assessment of Young Children: Educational and Intervention Perspectives (2000, background): “The operation of analogy has been considered by many authors as a powerful tool for a wide range of cognitive processes and as a principal operation for problem solving activities (Goswami, 1991; Holyoak and Thagard, 1995, 1997; Gentner and Markman, 1997).”
What Scientific Thinking Reveals About the Nature of Cognition (2000, background): “Many different experiments and different experimental approaches have demonstrated a reliance on superficial features in using analogies (Forbus, Gentner, & Law 1996; Holyoak & Thagard, 1997b).”
Divergent Thinking, Intelligence, and Expertise: A Test of Alternative Models (2002, background): “…related as a result of the effects of intelligence on the acquisition and application of principle-based knowledge structures (Ackerman, 1987; Davidson & Sternberg, 1984; Finke, Ward, & Smith, 1992) and the effects of knowledge acquisition on analogical reasoning (Holyoak & Thagard, 1997).”
