Convention, Form, and Figurative Language Processing (2001, methodology): “Gentner and Boronat (1992, 1999) conducted an empirical test of the domain-mapping hypothesis (Boronat, 1990; Gentner & Wolff, 2000).”
Moving Forward: Developing Theoretical Contributions in Management Studies (2014, methodology): “On this account, the use of an analogy is directly related to systematicity in the causal relationship between entities in the corresponding domains, that is, agents, their activity, and the environments they operate in (Gentner and Wolff, 2000), which, in turn, supports candidate inferences in term”
Transcending Simple Forms of School Science Investigation:The Impact of Preservice Instruction on Teachers’ Understandings of Model-Based Inquiry (2006, background): “Even mental models, because they can be explored extensively (run “in the mind’s eye” to generate predictions and explanations), have been shown to aid both children and adults in experimentation and theory revision (Gentner & Wolff, 2000; Vosniadou, 2002).”
Conventional Language: How Metaphorical Is It? (2000, background): “As Gibbs (1994) argued, the theory of coneptual mapping is a theory of thinking.”
The Transfer of Scientific Principles Using Concrete and Idealized Simulations (2005, background): “Another example of fading with direct relevance to developing abstract representations is the work of Kotovsky and Gentner (1996; see also Gentner & Wolff, 2000) on 4-year-olds’ responding to relational similarities.”
The transfer of abstract principles governing complex adaptive systems. (2003, background): “They argue that close literal similarity matches facilitate subsequent analogical matches by causing situations to be placed in correspondence, and once placed in correspondence, the abstract relations that they share are highlighted (see also Gentner & Wolff, 2000).”
As time goes by: Evidence for two systems in processing space → time metaphors (2002, background): “(Structure-mapping theory allows for both an initial structural alignment and later inferences, which are directed from the wellstructured domain to the less-structured domain (e.g., Gentner, 1983; Gentner & Wolff, 2000; Wolff & Gentner, 2000.)”
