....constitute analogy. For example, Gentner, 83] argues that humans prefer systematic (highly connected) analogies that map higher order relations in a one to one fashion from source to target. This is a theoretical assertion that is supported by a broad spectrum of empirical evidence [Chee, 93; Clement and Gentner, 91; Gentner and Toupin, 86; Hall, 89] For example, experiments by Chee have demonstrated that good explanatory analogies are characterised by high systematicity. If we consider Figure 2.1, for deep understanding of analogies, subjects need to do the mappings A to B, A to C, B to D, D to C. In ....

....have uncovered many aspects of the process of analogical problem solving. The different sub processes of analogy have been explored empirically; representation (e.g. Novick, 1988) analogue retrieval (e.g. Holyoak Koh, 1987; Keane, 1987; Wharton et al., 1994) analogical mapping (e.g. Clement Gentner, 1991; Gentner Toupin, 1986; Keane, 1985, 1988, 1995; Spellman Holyoak, 1992) adaptation (Keane, 1994; Holyoak, Novick Melz, 1994; Novick Holyoak, 1991) and induction (Gick Holyoak, 1983; Novick Holyoak, 1991) Furthermore, many of these sub processes have been modelled computationally and ....

....on alternative mappings. Stated simply, if one mapping involves a highlyinterconnected set of matches (or is more systematic) it will be preferred over a mapping with less connectivity between its matches. This proposal has been supported repeatedly in the empirical literature (see e.g. Clement Gentner, 1991; Gentner Toupin, 1986; Keane, 1988) For example, Clement Gentner (1991) have shown that when subjects were given a judgement task involving two systems of relations, they preferred a match embedded in a shared system of relations to one that was embedded in a different system of relations. ....

....constraints, pragmatic constraints, and behavioral constraints. Gentner [39] found that in using metaphors or analogies people prefer to map connected systems of relations governed by higher order relations, such as causes or implies, rather than isolated predicates. Empirical results in [26] support the role of the so called systematicity as a constraint of analogical mapping (see below) Other structural constraints experimented with are the restriction to mappings between entities of the same type in [40, 63] and structural consistency in [37] The latter means that if the ....

....attack destroy, troops rays, fortress tumour) In short, the convergence interpretation comes to be selected because it involves a systematic and coherent mapping between the two domains. Structural factors such as these have been shown to be critical to analogical mapping (see e.g. Clement Gentner, 1991; Gentner Toupin, 1986; Gick Holyoak, 1980; Holyoak Koh, 1987; Keane, 1988) For example, Clement Gentner (1991) have shown that structural systematicity acts as a selection constraint on mapping.
