Abstract
In analogical problem solving individuals infer an abstract solution schema from the source and apply it to the target. The schema is composed by the relevant elements which can be matched onto the target. It is assumed that stories sharing a high number of elements are perceived as more similar than stories having a lower number of common elements. An analysis carried out by means of a Kohonen map supported this assumption: the pattern of similarities represented by the Kohonen map corresponded to the similarity judgements produced by human subjects.
