Résumé
We have previously reported results showing that when
children can identify the critical structural relations in a scene
analogy problem, development of their ability to reason
analogically interacts with both relational complexity and
featural distraction (Richland, Morrison & Holyoak, 2004, in
press). In this paper we present computer simulations in LISA
(Hummel & Holyoak, 1997, 2003) demonstrating that both
relational complexity and featural distraction effects can be
parsimoniously accounted for by a simple change in inhibition
in the model. This result is similar to data and simulations of
analogy performance in patients with damage to prefrontal
cortex (Morrison et al., 2004) and older adults (Viskontas et
al., 2004), two other populations whose cognitive
performance is associated with decreases in inhibitory control
in working memory. These results lend support to the
hypothesis that the development of inhibitory control in
working memory is a critical factor in children’s ability to
perform relational reasoning.
