Concreteness Fading in Mathematics and Science Instruction: a Systematic Review (2014, background): “Indeed, several studies have shown that providing at least two examples of a concept, rather than only one, greatly improves learners' ability to identify a novel instance of the concept (e.g., Christie and Gentner 2010; Graham et al. 2010; Kurtz et al. 2013).”
Learning Through Case Comparisons: A Meta-Analytic Review (2013, background): “…1 & 2; Mason, 2004), definitions (e.g., a jiggy is a type of spatial relationship between drawings of animals and not a type of animal itself; Christie & Gentner, 2010, Experiments 1 & 2b), and/or categories (e.g., things are categorized by function and not form; Gentner & Namy, 1999,…”
How Teachers Link Ideas in Mathematics Instruction Using Speech and Gesture: A Corpus Analysis (2014, background): “…learn categories if multiple exemplars are presented simultaneously rather than sequentially (e.g., Oakes & Kovack-Lesh, 2007; Oakes & Ribar, 2005), and preschoolers are more likely to abstract relationships from examples when those examples are presented simultaneously (Christie & Gentner, 2010).”
Imagination and the generation of new ideas (2015, background): “In this respect, the studies resemble studies of children’s analogical reasoning (Christie & Gentner, 2010; Gentner & Markman, 1997).”
The Import of Knowledge Export: Connecting Findings and Theories of Transfer of Learning (2012, background): “, Clement, 1988; Gentner & Colhoun, 2010; Holyoak, Novick, & Melz, 1994; Keane, 1996). For example, when Clement (1988) analyzed protocols collected during physics problem solving, he found that individuals often transformed or modified prior cases in order make them applicable to new problems.

Finding new facts; thinking new thoughts. (2012, background): “Finally, considering more narrowly just the role of analogical reasoning (Christie & Gentner, 2010; Gentner et al., 1997; Gentner, 2002; Gentner, Holyoak, & Kokinov, 2001; Gentner &Markman, 1997; Gentner & Namy, 1999; Gentner & Smith, 2012; Holyoak &Thagard, 1996), it seems clear that once we have…”
Constraints on Hypothesis Selection in Causal Learning (2015, background): “Note that here, however, we did not set up a situation where children could go from a known problem and solution to a new problem and a new solution by setting up a relational mapping between arguments (e.g., Christie & Gentner, 2010).”
Analogical Reasoning in the Classroom: Insights from Cognitive Science. (2015, background): “Similarly, studies have suggested that analogical reasoning is enhanced when images of the source and target are displayed simultaneously versus sequentially (Christie & Gentner, 2010; Rittle-Johnson & Star, 2007).”
