Analogical Reasoning
During my PhD I have studied the emergence and use of Analogical Reasoning in Category Learning. I have designed and carried out three cognitive experiments to test my hypotheses. If you are interested, you can try out those tests on this web site.
I have also published some papers on the subject:
