role of analogy in thought and learning

[McGregor, Karla K]

The Iowa Center for Developmental and Learning Sciences
(http://www.uiowa.edu/~icdls/) brings together researchers who seek to
understand processes that underlie development and learning from neurons
to neighborhoods, acknowledging that the brain, mind, body, physical
environment, social relationships, and large-scale social systems are
all intertwined.
