The Analogical Mind.
Holyoak, Keith J.; Thagard, Paul
American Psychologist, v52 n1 p35-44 Jan 1997
The use of analogy in human thinking is examined from the perspective of a multiconstraint theory that postulates similarity, structure, and purpose as three kinds of constraints. The theory has been implemented in computational simulations of the analogical human mind using the Analogical Mapping by Constraint Satisfaction (ACME) model. (SLD)
