Analogical Reasoning: A Core of Cognition

Analogies have always been considered a central part of human intelligence and cognition. This survey offers an overview of analogical reasoning and its applications, showing that analogies are an important element of various cognitive abilities like memory access, adaptation, learning, reasoning, and creativity. Therefore, analogies can provide a basis for integrated large-scale cognitive systems.
