title: Analogical reasoning: An incremental or insightful process? What cognitive and cortical evidence suggests.
abstract: Abstract The step-by-step, incremental nature of analogical reasoning can be questioned, since analogy making appears to be an insight-like process. This alternative view of analogical thinking can be integrated in Speed's model, even though the alleged role played by dopaminergic subcortical circuits needs further supporting evidence.
