Anxiety Can Influence Analogy-Making Both Positively and Negatively Depending on the Complexity of the Mapping Task

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: In attempt to resolve the controversial issue of the influence of the anxiety state on analogy-making this paper presents a replication of the original Tohill and Holyoak study extending it with a new factor – the complexity of the mapping. It turns out that the anxiety influence interacts with the complexity of the mapping task. This has certain implications for the models of analogy and for the further study of the role anxiety plays in analogy-making.
