Systemic software reuse through analogical reasoning
This research focuses on analogical reasoning as applied to the problem of software reuse at the level of the system architecture. The resulting methodology may be thought of as a hybrid approach to software reuse, as it combines a compositional developmental strategy with synthesis of role-based …

Analogical reasoning in children's reading and addition
… of the research was to examine the role of analogical reasoning in children's early reading and addition and to look for possible commonalities in children's performance across these two educational contexts. The research comprised four studies. Study I was a preliminary investigation of …

Building Black Holes: Analogue experiments and analogical reasoning
… First, what are they useful for? Second, how do analogical reasoning and the reasoning underlying analogue experimentation compare to other forms of inductive reasoning? The first question has been controversial ever since experiments in analogue gravity began to reveal effects which are in …

Training Analogical Reasoning Skills in Children With Language Disorders
The efficacy of direct training in analogical reasoning was examined in school-aged children with language disorders. Analogy training was divided into two phases. The first phase consisted of direct instruction in the componential processes of analogical reasoning and the second phase included …

Associative Errors in Children's Analogical Reasoning: A Cognitive Process Analysis
Previous research has suggested that reliance upon association in analogy solution indicates a cognitive style that impairs learning and limits the predictability of achievement by intelligence. Experiment 1 investigated the hypothesis that the achievement-intelligence relation is moderated by …

Interaction between language and analogical reasoning from the brain imaging perspective
… to explore the relationship between language and analogical reasoning. In fact, despite the increasing interest about the neural substrates of reasoning, at present no fMRI study systematically investigates the contribution of stimulus format/context on reasoning network. In the present work three …

Experimental studies of the impact of emotional information on analogical reasoning
… interpret these events and form beliefs. Analogical reasoning is central to belief formation, as it allows people to draw inferences by connecting new information to existing knowledge. Examining the effect of emotion can provide insights into how distorted beliefs about the self, the …

Experimental and simulation studies of the impact of emotional information on analogical reasoning
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2025-05-01

The relationship between American Sign Language vocabulary and the development of language-based reasoning skills in deaf children
The language-based analogical reasoning abilities of Deaf children are a controversial topic. Researchers lack agreement about whether Deaf children possess the ability to reason using language-based analogies, or whether this ability is limited by a lack of access to vocabulary, both written and …

Evaluation of Word and Paragraph Embeddings and Analogical Reasoning as an Alternative to Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency-based Classification in Support of Biocuration
… of 0.92. The results of classification and analogical reasoning tasks are promising but a formal model of semantic vectors, subject to the constraints of known linguistic phenomenon, is needed. This research includes initial steps for developing a formal model of semantic vectors based on a …

Pueblos, Planets, and Permian Puzzles: The Perils and Promise of Analogical Evidence in the Historical Sciences
… This thesis explores the epistemic role of analogical reasoning in historical science, arguing that analogy is not merely interpretive but can function as a method of experimental inquiry. While philosophers like Carol Cleland emphasize trace-based inference, and critics like Derek Turner …

Source Code Retrieval using Case Based Reasoning
… the retrieval system that is part of the Arís (Analogical Reasoning for reuse of Implementation & Specification) project. The overall methodology of the Arís project is very similar to Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and its parent discipline of Analogical Reasoning (AR), centered on the activities …

Analogical specification reuse during requirements analysis
… and support tools is necessary for effective analogical reuse. Retrieval uses a computational implementation of analogical reasoning to search and match many reusable specifications. On the other hand understanding, transferring and adapting specifications requires cooperation between the tool …

Analogy matching with function, flow and performance
… methods exist to achieve design innovations. Analogical reasoning is one such method that has been shown be effective. The Design Analogy Performance Parameter System (DAPPS) project presented here is developing a method to aid in analogy generation by specifying a set of critical functions …

Validating the predictions of case-based decision theory
… David Schmeidler (1995), formalises this type of analogical reasoning. While CBDT is intuitively appealing, only a few experimental and empirical studies have attempted to validate its predictions. This thesis reports two laboratory experiments and an empirical study that attempt to confirm the …

The Integration of Explanation-Based Learning and Fuzzy Control in the Context of Software Assurance as Applied to Modular Avionics
… Furthermore, EBL can be augmented to include analogical reasoning when reaching an impasse. An algorithm which integrates analogy into EBL has been developed as part of this work. The inclusion of analogical reasoning facilitates transfer learning, which furthers the flexibility of the MPMS in …

Arís 2.1: Adapting Arís for Object Oriented Language
… This project will focus on extending Arís (Analogical Reasoning for reuse of Implementation & Specification) which has been developed to increase verified software by reusing and transferring the specification from a similar implementation to a target code. The extension is done to …

Essays on the Production of Ideas
… how a new technological tool—the automation of analogical reasoning—allowed innovators to import knowledge from an adjacent domain, bypassing the need to build knowledge from the ground up. In the second essay, I turn to how institutions can shape innovative outcomes, particularly when the …
