Gick and holyoak 1983. 24 AND HOLYOAK TABLE 6 Perceotuge of Subjects Producing Convergence Solution at Each Stage as a Function of Schema Quality (Experimenr. In Experiment I oral protocols were used to examine the processes involved in solving a problem by analogy. The work benefitted from the guidance of the members of the dissertation committee: John Jonides, Manfred Kochen, David Krantz, and substitute member John Holland. After presenting the source analoguein an incidentalcontext,the participants were initially presented with the target problem without any hint that they should use the source The frequencies involved in the formance on our simple problem seems to be one-analog and two-analog conditions were the same as for adults solving more complex too small to yield statistically significant dif- problems (Gick & Holyoak, 1980, 1983). The representation of analogy in memory and processes involved in the use of analogies are discussed theoretically and explored in 5 experiments with 303 college students. Holyoak +1 more - 31 Dec 1982 - Cognitive Psychology - Vol. The present study tested these predictions in a series of experiments in which 653 10th–12th graders first read 1 or more stories illustrating problems and their With these results, Gick and Holyoak (1980, 1983) concluded that analogical problem-solving depends on three steps: Noticing that an analogical connection exists between the source and the target problem. Other researchers have explored specific instances of relationalmap- ping. It was published by Elsevier. These predictions were tested in experiments in which subjects first read one or more stories illustrating problems and their solutions and then attempted to solve Jul 1, 1980 · The use of an analogy from a semantically distant domain to guide the problemsolving process was investigated.
