Abstract

This paper outlines a theory of analogical reasoning based on a process-model of problem solving by analogy and the hypothesis that problem solving and learning are inalienable, concurrent processes in the human cognitive system . The analogical problem solver exploits prior experience in solving similar problems, and, in the process, augments a hierarchically-structured epsiodic long term memory . An analogical transformation process is developed based on a modified version of Means-Ends Analysis in order to map past solutions from similar problems into solutions satisfying the requirements of the new problem.
