Résumé

We study analogical reasoning in adults using an eye tracking methodology. In previous experiments, we studied the time course of analogy-making, looking at proportion of looking times and transitions. The main purpose of the present experiment is to test whether adults would adapt their search strategies to the difficulty of the analogical problems (Easy vs. Difficult problems). Difficult problems might have an impact on participants' visual strategies used by participants (Bethell-Fox et al., 1984) Looking-time durations and the number of key item-to-item transitions confirmed differences between the two conditions. We discuss the results in terms of conceptions of analogical reasoning.
