The evolution of priming in cognitive competencies: To what extent is analogical reasoning adaptive?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 July 2008
Abstract
This commentary questions the general assumptions concerning the cognitive value of analogical reasoning on which the argument developed by Leech et al. appears to rest. In order to better assess the findings of their meta-analysis, it shifts the perspective from development to evolution, and frames their “how” concern within a broader “why” issue.
