Structure Mapping in Analogy and Similarity, by Dedre Gentner and Arthur B. Markman
The National Science Foundation has just received a large sum of money as part of the economic stimulus plan. They have determined that research in analogical reasoning would benefit education. They issue a request for large proposals on the order of 5-10 million over 5 years.
Naturally, Gentner and her computationally oriented collegue, Ken Forbus, are preparing a proposal. They ask you to write an endorsement letter applauding their effort. To get you started, they supply you with a copy of the Gentner and Markman paper along with talking points in the form of a draft letter.
Supply the draft letter.
