ABSTRACT
Researchers agree that analogy-making is about relational processing, and that the main components of analogy-making are representation building, memory retrieval, mapping, transfer, evaluation, and learning. There is also agreement in that analogy is a major contributor to human learning and reasoning. In this symposium, we would like to explore the extent of this agreement and understand where disagreements start. The contributors are researchers from various theoretical traditions, all engaged in original studies in various directions exploring new and still unresolved issues. They wil l explore the degree of convergence (or divergence) as to which territory to explore and how to best approach the issues.
