Mental Leaps
Author: Keith J. Holyoak
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262581448
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Analogy—recalling familiar past situations to deal with novel ones—is a mental tool that everyone uses. Analogy can provide invaluable creative insights, but it can also lead to dangerous errors. In Mental Leaps two leading cognitive scientists show how analogy works and how it can be used most effectively. Keith Holyoak and Paul Thagard provide a unified, comprehensive account of the diverse operations and applications of analogy, including problem solving, decision making, explanation, and communication. Holyoak and Thagard present their own theory of analogy, considering its implications for cognitive science in general, and survey examples from many other domains. These include animal cognition, developmental and social psychology, political science, philosophy, history of science, anthropology, and literature. Understanding how we draw analogies is important for people interested in the evolution of thinking in animals and in children; for those whose focus is on either creative thinking or errors of everyday reasoning; for those concerned with how decisions are made in law, business, and politics; and for those striving to improve education. Mental Leaps covers all of this ground, emphasizing the principles that govern the use of analogy and keeping technical matters to a minimum. A Bradford Book

Spiritually Speaking II
Author: Rev. Ronald L. Koch
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387636987
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
In this book, I will talk about those things with the express purpose of helping you to recognize the fact that problems pop up in our life all the time. There are answers to all problems even though they are not always obvious. Problems are part of life so that we can learn and be challenged by them in order to grow spiritually. The first article talks about ""Life's Little Problems"" and the fact that we all have them. The second article in this book, I talk about ""Who Am I."" The reason for this article is that people have told me that ""they know me very well,"" but in reality we cannot really know anyone. The third article wants you to answer the question ""Do You Know What I'm Thinking""? Is it even possible?
