Résumé
According to structure-mapping theory. the process of
comparison is one of alignment and mapping between representational
structures. This process induces a focus on commonalities and
alignable differences (i.e., those related to the commonalities). Nonalignable
differences (i.e,, those not related to the commonalities) are
held to be neglected. The theory thus predicts increased focus on the
Corresponding information, whether these are commonalities or dqferences.
In this article, we explore the implications of this claim for
memon: Specifically, we test the prediction that alignable differences
are more likely to be processed and stored than nonalignable differences.
We present a study in which people made similarity comparisons
betflpeen pairs of pictures and then were probed for recall. The recall
probes were figures taken from the pictures and were either alignable
or nonalignable differences between the pairs. The alignable differences
were better memory probes than the nonalignable differences,
tuggesting that people were more likely to encode and store the corresponding
information than the noncorresponding information.
