Abstract: We present the beginnings of an account of how representations and processes developed for the purposes of reflective reasoning provide a basis for reflexive reasoning as well. Specifically, we show how the symbolic-connectionist representations that underlie the DORA model (Doumas & Hummel, 2005), and the comparison based routines that DORA exploits in the service of addressing reflective problems, such as analogy making and the discovery of novel relations, can be extended to address reflexive reasoning phenomena. We use the reflexive reasoning routines developed in DORA to simulate findings demonstrating that reflexive processes operate when subjects solve real-world mathematics problems.
