The standard explanationof meta-analogical transfer posits that the predicate mappings generated during a first analogyepisode get reused during subsequent instances of analogical reasoning. As thisaccount fails to predict the empirical result that only mappings betweensimilar concepts get reliably transferred, other psychological mechanisms seemto be at play. Across three experiments, we obtained evidence suggesting thatthe carry-over of visuo-spatial schemas can also be involved in meta-analogicaltransfer. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants rated solutions to an ambiguousletter-string analogy whose alternative solutions involved differentvisuospatial operations. Prior to that, participants rated solutions toletter-string analogies aimed to elicit visuospatial operations that wereeither consistent, inconsistent or unrelated to the visuospatial operationsunderlying the later problem. Participants granted higher scores to solutionswhose underlying visuospatial operations matched those elicited by thepreparatory analogies. In Experiment 3, participants rated solutions to thetarget analogies after watching short animations representing the visuospatialrepresentations presumed to have been elicited by the preparatory analogies ofExperiments 1 and 2. The fact that these animations biased participants ́ratings in the same manner as in the previous experiments provides furtherevidence that dynamic visuo-spatial schemas can play a role in meta-analogicaltransfer.
