Abstract
In Chapter 2 we reviewed some of the models that have been proposed for the solution of analogy items. One family of models emphasizes the process for solving an analogy. The other emphasizes the knowledge or data structures and their contents needed to solve the problem. These two emphases reflect the fact that cognitive models are based on the metaphor of thinking as computing, and computational problems, in general, can be analyzed in terms of algorithms (i.e., processes) and data structures.
