摘要：Our current work aims to model analogy using the Relational Evaluation Procedure (REP), a novel experimental protocol allowing the rapid generation of derived relations (e.g., Hayes, Barnes-Holmes & Roche, 2001). Recent behavior analytic work has conceptualized analogy as the derivation of equivalence relations between equivalence and other types of derived relations (e.g., more than/less than) and this conceptualization has been successfully modeled in the laboratory (e.g., Barnes, Hegarty & Smeets, 1997). However, previous empirical demonstrations of this model have been based on matching-to-sample (MTS) procedures, which allow only a limited number of analogies to be demonstrated. Our employment of the REP is intended to circumvent this difficulty, thus enabling the development of a model of analogy that captures the often rapid and relatively easy use of analogy in natural language.
