About this product

Product Information

Analogical reasoning is a fundamental cognitive skill, involved in classification, learning, problem-solving and creative thinking, and should be a basic building block of cognitive development. However, for a long time researchers have believed that children are incapable of reasoning by analogy. This book argues that this is far from the case, and that analogical reasoning may be available very early in development. Research has shown that even three-year-olds can solve analogies, and that infants can reason about relational similarity, which is the hallmark of analogy. This book traces the roots of the popular misconceptions about children's analogical abilities and argues that when children fail to use analogies, it is because they do not understand the relations underlying the analogy rather than because they are incapable of analogical reasoning. The author argues that young children spontaneously use analogies in learning, and that their analogies can sometimes lead them into misconceptions. In the real world of the classroom, children use analogies when learning basic skills like reading, and even babies seem to use analogies to learn about the world around them.

    The seller kindly got in touch to say the book I ordered did not meet the quality advertised due to being found to be in a poor condition at the packing stage. Unfortuntely no replacement was available and would I like to pick a book of equivalent value from the marketplace - which I did. That book arrived safely and was in the condition advertised. I have used this seller many times before and I am grateful for their quality control decission, rather than send me a damaged book. Will use again.

It was very reasonably priced and was securely packaged and delivered super fast. I really recommend this seller. Communication is excellent if needed, very prompt, helpful and friendly. A top notch seller who always gives their best. 5🌟 all round πŸ‘
