Small stem assay for chestnut blight resistance in segregating half-sib and full-sib families of F2 and backcross hybrid chestnut trees
… in a completely randomized design in 2017 (Gentner 2018). In 2018, an additional 391 F2 hybrid chestnut seedlings were screened in a randomized complete block design. All seedlings were inoculated with the chestnut blight causal organism Cryphonectria parasitica when stem diameters were …

Alignability and Prior Knowledge in Category Learning
… in category learning. Structural alignment (Gentner, 1983, 1989) is a theory that claims that similarity comparisons entail a process of aligning the components of the things being compared, determining what corresponds to what. The experiments presented here explore the implications of this …

Finding the commonalities: The role of analogical mapping during similarity judgments
… Mapping Engine (Falkenhainer, Forbus and Gentner, 1989), a computer implementation of Gentner's (1983) structure-mapping theory of analogy. The simulations indicate that salient object commonalities yield a preference for mappings based on object similarities, while salient relational …

An Electroencephalogram Investigation of Two Modes of Reasoning
… that it is, fundamentally, semantic in nature (Gentner & Stevens, 1983; Johnson-Laird, 1983). The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate the neurophysiology of mental model (MM) and mental rule (MR) reasoning using high-density electroencephalography (EEG), with the goal of providing a …

Investigating the role of relational responding and relational flexibility in human cognition.
… for many higher-order cognitive processes (e.g., Gentner, 2003b; Hayes, Barnes-Holmes, & Roche 2001). The primary aim of the current doctoral research was to explore the relationship between relational processes and human intelligence, focusing particularly on relational flexibility. The current …

The Epistemology of Artefact Comparisons in Early Greek Natural Philosophy and Medicine
… developed in the 1980s by Professor Dedre Gentner. The structure-mapping theory of analogy provides criteria to distinguish between literal similarity and analogy, and to pinpoint the generative, corroborative, and didactive capacities of analogies. Employing this theory, I highlight …
