Analogical reasoning, the process of identifying correspondences between seemingly disparate domains, is fundamental to human cognition. It facilitates problem solving and learning by allowing ...

Like most daunting challenges, the LSAT is best approached by breaking the test down into manageable parts. The most common way to divide the logical reasoning section is by question type. Different ...

UCLA researchers’ new study says the GPT-3 language model can reason with analogy, but they can’t say the answers aren’t already in the training data. Reading time 4 minutes The latest in a slew of ...

I was intrigued by this statement: "...if we take the idea to extreme, inductive analogy is fundamental to scientific thought. No experiment can be truly repeatable..." Doesn't this view weaken the ...

Very useful for attracting attention and making ideas, abstractions, and technical explanations concrete, analogy is a very effective tool for persuasion and clarification. But beware, some authors ...

Large language models are a class of AI algorithm that relies on a high number computational nodes and an equally large number of connections among them. They can be trained to perform a variety of ...

When Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke appeared on the TV news show 60 Minutes to persuade us to bail out the banking system, he didn’t bother with charts, figures, or lengthy argument. Instead, he ...

Using two newly developed types of reasoning tests, a team of researchers at UCL and UCLH has identified key brain regions that are essential for logical thinking and problem-solving. The results will ...

THE philosopher of the forum is notorious for the looseness of his analogical arguments from biology, and biologists themselves deserve castigation for their lax terminology. Even a Galton can write: ...
