Abstract

Previous experiments have shown that a comparison of two written narratives highlights their shared relational structure, which in turn facilitates the retrieval of analogous narratives from the past. However, analogical retrieval occurs across domains that appear more conceptually distant than merely different narratives, and the deepest analogies use matches in higher-order relational structure. The present study investigated whether schema abstraction can facilitate analogical retrieval of higher-order relations across written narratives and abstract symbolic problems. Participants read stories which became retrieval targets after a delay, cued by either analogous stories or letter-strings. We replicated prior research that used narrative retrieval cues, and also found clear evidence that a comparison of analogous letter-string problems and explanation of the underlying principle facilitated the retrieval of source stories with analogous higher-order relations. These findings show that the schemas abstracted from comparison of narratives can be transferred to non-semantic symbolic domains.

跨越精神峡谷:高阶远距离类比检索
先前的实验表明,两种书面叙述的比较突出了它们共同的关系结构,这反过来又有助于从过去检索类似的叙述。然而,类比检索发生在跨领域,这些领域在概念上似乎比不同的叙述更遥远,最深的类比使用高阶关系结构中的匹配。本研究探讨图式抽象是否能促进高阶关系在书面叙述和抽象符号问题中的类比检索。参与者阅读的故事在被类似的故事或字母串提示后延迟成为检索目标。我们复制了先前使用叙事检索线索的研究,并发现明确的证据表明,比较类似的字母字符串问题和解释潜在原理有助于检索具有类似高阶关系的源故事。这些发现表明,从叙事比较中提取的图式可以转移到非语义的符号域。
